Huldra dress

Huldra is a hidden forest creature found in Norwegian folklore. She was a flirtatious, young girl who was neither good nor evil. The problem with Huldra was that she was highly seductive and known for luring young men, make them marry her and then make them live with her family, the underground people, deep in the mountains.

This dress is a top down, circular yoke sweater with pretty cables around the neckline.
The cables has step by step, written instructions and the pattern also includes charts. The rest of the dress is knitted in one piece, so no seams. Its an A-line, short sleeve dress with a narrow neckline.
