Sirdar Sing Along Stripe Dress - Design N° 10544
What is Being Made
The Sirdar Sing Along Stripe Dress is an intermediate-level knitted dress featuring a close-fitting silhouette available in six sizes ranging from UK 6-8 through 26-28 (US 2-24). This garment showcases a multi-colour striped design created using three coordinating yarn shades from the Sirdar Stories collection, making it an ideal project for knitters seeking to explore colour work and contemporary fashion design.
Techniques Used
This pattern employs fundamental knitting techniques suitable for intermediate crafters. The design incorporates stripe work using multiple yarn colours, requiring knitters to manage yarn changes and maintain consistent tension across colour transitions. The close-fitting construction demands careful attention to shaping and fit throughout the body of the dress. The pattern includes instructions for working with both standard needles and double pointed needles, allowing knitters to develop versatility in needle handling techniques.
Stitches Used
While specific stitch details are referenced in the full pattern instructions, the construction relies on core knitting stitches worked in a structured sequence. The tension requirement of 21 stitches over 10 cm (4 inches) across 29 rows establishes the gauge for this project, ensuring proper fit and drape when using the recommended Sirdar yarn.
Materials Required
This project uses Sirdar Stories Double Knitting (DK) yarn in a cotton-rich acrylic blend. The yarn composition creates lightweight, breathable garments ideal for summer wear while maintaining excellent shape retention. Three colour shades are required: Shade 830 After Glow (Yarn A), Shade 827 Glow Sticks (Yarn B), and Shade 824 Skinny Dip (Yarn C). Each shade requires 2-3 balls depending on size selection (50g balls). Knitters will need one pair of 4mm (UK 8 – USA 6) knitting needles for the main fabric, one pair of 3¼mm (UK 10 – USA 3) double pointed needles for ribbed sections or neckline finishing, and a stitch holder for managing active stitches during construction.
