All my Free Dress Knitting Patterns are listed below—plus 200+ more free knitting patterns here
If you’re looking for free dress knitting patterns, you’ll find them all listed below! I’ve designed dresses for every stage of life—babies, kids, and adults—so there’s something for everyone. You’ll find patterns in breathable cotton, cozy wool blends, and even a mix of both for comfort and durability. Styles range from sleek bodycon knits to flowing A-line skirts, with details like elastic waistbands and ribbed textures to add shape and style. Some of my favorite yarns for these patterns are KnitPicks Heatherly (affiliate link) for softness, Berroco Vintage (affiliate link) for durability, and Lion Brand Coboo (affiliate link) for its lightweight drape.

I’m on Ribbed Edge.
changed needles, joined to be in the round, picked up 91 sts from front edge.
Here is the problem. only 72 sts for shoulders and back???? How can that be?
You will pick up for each stitch that was cast on for your shoulders and neck. It should be a much smaller amount of stitches than down the front.
