The dress is knit top-down with clever construction: Start with the back, shape the shoulders, and then join it all together to knit in the round. Short rows shape the back for a flattering neckline, 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 a sleek, body-hugging 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.
