Sonya is knitted top down starting from the front piece, after which the back piece is knitted.

When the front and back pieces are knitted, join the pieces to work in the round and then start knitting the colorwork part. Lastly the hem is knitted in rounds to the desired length.

Sonya is finished with i-cord finishing, which gives the dress also the desired length to the shoulder straps. After the i-cord, you can also knit the ruffle to the dress.
