Pattern notes

• Dress is worked in flat panels for the yoke, then stitches are picked up for the tiers.
• Use stitch markers every 10 stitches when picking up to ensure an even edge.
• The small signature heart is added at the very end.

1. Yoke Panels

Work the front and back panels flat in dusty rose. These form the fitted upper bodice of the dress.

• Row 1: 46 ch [46] — Make 2 panels (Front and Back).
• Row 2: sk, 45 hdc [45]
• Rows 3–12: hdc in each stitch across [45]

1. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for seaming.
2. Place Front and Back panels right sides together and sew the shoulder seams.

2. First Tier

Pick up stitches along the bottom edge of the yoke to create the textured warm cream tier.

• Round 1: 90 sc picked up evenly [90] — Pick up 45 sts along the front panel and 45 sts along the back panel. Join to work in the round.
• Rounds 2–8: 45 FPdc, 45 BPdc [90]
• Round 9: sc in each stitch around [90]

1. Fasten off and weave in ends.

3. Second Tier

Continue the flowing silhouette with the sage green skirt tier, worked in a simple, drapey stitch.

• Round 1: 90 sc picked up evenly [90] — Pick up 90 sts evenly along the bottom edge of the First Tier.
• Rounds 2–12: hdc in each stitch around [90]

1. Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Weave in ends.

4. Neck & Armhole Trim

Add a delicate blush ribbed finish to the neckline and armholes for a polished, cozy look.

• Round 1: 60 sc picked up evenly [60] — Pick up 40 sts around the neckline and 10 sts around each armhole. Join to work in the round.
• Round 2: sc blo in each stitch around [60]

1. Fasten off and weave in ends.

5. WithMe signature heart

The same little heart sits on every WithMe original — our way of signing it with love. Use any contrast colour from the project.

• Round 1: 3 tr, 3 dc, ch, tr, ch, 3 dc, 3 tr in a magic ring [15] — Ch 3 first (it doesn't count as a stitch). After the last stitch, ch 3 and sl st into the ring, then pull the ring tight — the dip at the top of the heart forms as you pull.

1. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing the heart in place.

Finishing

1. With right sides together, sew the side seams from the bottom hem up to the armholes, leaving the top 8 inches open for the armholes.
2. Weave in all remaining ends securely.
3. Block the dress lightly to even out the stitches and enhance the drape.
4. Sew the small signature heart onto the lower left hem of the sage green tier.

Tips from the WithMe studio

• When picking up stitches, insert your hook under both loops of the edge stitch for a neater, stronger seam.
• If your tension is tight, use a hook half a millimeter larger for the post stitch rows to maintain the drape.
• Try the dress on before seaming the sides to ensure you are happy with the armhole depth.
