Knit dresses by TSE
A lot of readers come here looking for a knit dress pattern. I don't have a pattern for it, but I can give you a guideline on designing one for yourself. As everyone has their own idea of what they would like to have for their project, I've prepared a basic knit dress diagram. I've taken some measurements down from a knit dress I do have. It is in size medium. Hopefully you can work out your own personal measurements. Then all you have to do is work out the gauge of your yarn to figure out the amount of stitches and rows. You can refer to Vogue's knitting book that explains this if you're not familiar.
Notes
Dress is slim fitting. Hemline of dress has a slight A-line flare. If you wan it more fitted just use the hip line measurement starting from the hemline.
Measurements are for a 3/4 length sleeve.
