Army of Knitters designer Heather Dixon tells us this
about her Mojave Moon dress or top pattern..."I’m in
love with the construction of Mojave Moon! Worked from the bottom up, it
is simply a tube in the shape of a double V. Hip, waist and shoulder
shaping are achieved by changing needle sizes along with some
uncomplicated increases and decreases. The fringes are made by leaving
long ends when joining colors - it couldn’t be easier. Make the Top or
the Dress version from the same pattern or as I did, both!"
