WAFFLE LOOP SWEATER DRESS is a coarse sweater with an oversized cut and can be worn as a sweater or dress. It impresses with details in the waffle and braid pattern, as well as segments in the rib pattern along the sides.

The sweater is worked from top to bottom. First, stitches are struck in the neck, knitted in waffle structure in rows with rib patterns on both sides, while at the same time increasing to shape the upper part of the back. Stitches are then picked up along the shoulder edges. The shoulders are worked separately in rows. Both shoulder parts are connected to the front and new stitches are attached centrally. The front and rear sides are connected to the body and knitted in a wafer structure in rounds, with braids following the diagram and in the rib pattern on the sides. Stitches for the sleeves are received around the arm cutouts, which are also worked downwards in a wafer structure and are ended with a ribbed tuft, as well as chained off Italian.
