Knitting For Olive | Bobby Dress Pattern & Yarn Pack
Everyday Comfort with a Touch of Charm
The Bobby Dress is a timeless and versatile knit that pairs simplicity with sweet details. Featuring a garter stitch yoke and a flowing stockinette skirt, this dress is worked seamlessly from the top down in just one strand of Merino, making it soft, breathable, and comfortable for everyday wear.
The design begins with a back split and short-row shaping at the neckline, before moving into raglan increases that create a neat, well-fitting yoke. From there, the skirt is shaped with gentle increases for a flattering drape. Knit the sleeves short for warmer days or long for cooler seasons—the Bobby Dress adapts beautifully to any occasion.
