Pattern Description:
Knitting a kaftan dress was always on my to-do list and I finally got down to designing one in linen with a rather simple fair isle border. Kaftans are truly versatile garments. They can be worn on the beach as a cover up, indoors as part of a casual ensemble or as a fashion statement for evening parties and events. The kaftan is definitely unique and an essential addition to one's closet!
The kaftan is worked in stockinette stitch as two pieces, front and back and then hand sewn together using back stitch along side borders leaving 9" for arms at the top. The front and back at the shoulders are sewn in mattress stitch.

The love that I have for knitting and the pure joy that it brings me has been passed down to me from both my mother and my grandmother. Decades later, my passion for knitting has only deepened. I know that knitting will always be an intrinsic part of my life, and I am excited to conjure up new ideas, designs and projects.
Besides knitting I love crocheting, cross-stitching, sewing, cooking, listening to music, watching movies, etc, etc, etc.--I wish a day was longer sometimes! I find indulging in creative pursuits is very therapeutic and relaxing much like yoga.
