Knitting pattern for Iris dress Iris is a cheeky little dress that, with its simple lace pattern and luxurious yarn, is so captivating it almost knits itself. It’s worked from the top down to ensure a great fit, which you can adjust as you go, and the short sleeve can easily be lengthened if you want to adapt Iris for the slightly cooler summer evenings. The Iris dress is an extended version of the Iris summer top, featuring the same beautiful lace pattern. It is knitted in our Everyday Kit, a combination of Önling No 12 and Önling No 13, which together create the loveliest blend of wool, cotton, and cashmere. The pattern is a PDF file.
