Knitting For Olive | Lili Dress Pattern & Yarn Pack
Classic Style with a Modern Twist
The Lili Dress is a timeless design with charming details—a wide, softly ruffled collar, graceful ¾-length sleeves, and a flattering silhouette. Simple yet refined, it’s a versatile piece you can dress up or down, perfect for every occasion.
Knit from the top down in a single strand of Merino, the dress begins with a provisional cast-on to form the yoke and delicate keyhole opening. The raglan-shaped yoke flows seamlessly into a gently flared skirt, created with waist increases for a flattering fit. Sleeves are worked in the round and finished neatly with an i-cord edge, while the collar is shaped with short rows, then joined to the neckline and completed with a crisp i-cord finish.
The result is a dress with just the right balance of structure and softness, making the Lili Dress an instant wardrobe favourite.
