Neckline.
Rear.
It is pretty much the same number of stitches starting at the hem until the modified boat neckline. The armholes are finished in single crochet with matching yarn. Bottom row of white for 10 inches, red next at 7 inches, 4 inches of white and a final 9 inches of red. It is worked in two sections, front plus back, the back neckline is 1 inch before binding completely off and the front is 2 inches before bind off. Cast 57 stitches on and rib in 2x1 ribbing. Decrease three for the body, till the bustline then increase back to 57 stitches. Sew sides and shoulders before finishing the armholes with single crochet.
This can be done in half double crochet plus rib stitch and a J hook. Chain 55 stitches for the bottom band and work the body with 54 stitches of hdc for the same number of inches as above (10w, 7r, 4w and 9r for the red/white). Chain 55 for the collar neckband and work in crochet rib for 1 1/4 inch--Since this is an easy fitting design. The shoulder seam can be sewn last to accommodate the neckband results most exactly or you could cast on the neckband with 16 inch circular knitting needles and do a 2x1 rib.
This pattern has been edited --the original post misstated the number of inches per stripe color [[Red nine inches or so and white 5 inches in duration while knitting in 'st st.']]This WILL NOT match the picture, it IS: 10 inches of white, 7 inches of red, 4 inches of white and finally 9 inches of red, a 30 inch tunic dress, if you want it longer add one inch of red and one inch of white to one of the stripes of that color. It is pretty with this width of stripes and looks 'store bought.'
Since this was only about an hour or two ago, I am leaving this here, assuming no one could have gotten too far along with the pattern yet.
