Knitting Knit - micro dress for slender minis

This was done on coton tricoter Cygne from Bergere de france on 2mm and 1.5mm needles

it's actually quite simple, the feather and fan pattern (FF) is worked on the 2mm and the stockingette on the smaller needles
it has a double rib on each side to give it definition and a little stretch just in case.

The feather and fan (ff) pattern is worked over four rows

Cast on 66 stitches on the 2mm needles (this give 4 repeats of the FF pattern)

eyelet detail for ribbon to be added between FF pattern and stockingette
K1 K2tog yo K2 repeat to end.

Be careful to always work your rib
after the eyelet detail switch to the smaller needles and stockingette till desired length

if you want you can reverse the pattern so the FF pattern is along the top as well.

like so

when you have reached the desired length of stockingette repeat the eyelet row
then the 4 ff rows like so


R1 - p1 k1 p1 k1 p1 k28 repeat
R2 - FF pattern -
r3 - p1 k1 p1 k1 p1 k28 repeat
R1 - k1 p1 k1 p1 k1 p28 repeat

when you reached the desired length (in the above case 5 1/2" BO Loosely

ideally this dress would be knitted on the round but if you can't just knit flat and mattress seam to finish.

Take a length of ribbon and thread through the eyelets forming a bow wherever you like.
