Mini dress

The dress is knit top-down: Start with shaping the shoulders, and then join it all together to knit in the round. Waist decreases give it that curve-hugging fit, and hip increases finish it off with that perfect mini shape. Want it shorter or longer? Totally up to you.

This knitting pattern gives you all the step-by-step guidance you need to create this cute dress that’s as fun to make as it is to wear. Whether you're building your handmade wardrobe or just craving a mindful, minimalist project, this knit dress is the kind of piece you'll reach for again and again.
