Airing instead of washing goes a long way. Materials like wool are even naturally self-cleaning. Hand-washing is always the gentler option and the one we recommend. Dry the garment flat and let them always dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry. Do not wring.

Super cute

Super cute, easy and surprisingly quick knit on big needles. I admired this pattern for years and was happy to find it as a kit on WAK. I did a fun color scheme with a red main color.

Samba birthday gift.

I don’t usually like working with cotton yarn but this was nice. I made the dress for my daughter’s birthday and she loved it !

Nicely written pattern, dress too sheer for my liking with gauge

The pattern was well-written and easy to follow up to the point that I decided to frog for a final time and put it aside. The gauge as written with The Cotton came out too sheer for my liking. I did some math and did the stitch count for two sizes above mine to get a tighter fabric but it was still not enough. Going to knit the dress in the future with a thicker cotton yarn and am repurposing the cotton from this pattern for a different project on a tighter gauge.

Amazing Project for A Beginning Knitter

As a beginner knitter, this pattern is really easy to follow. I'm loving the colors that I picked. Also, the ribbed stitch of this pattern is gorgeous and I'm looking forward to finishing because I will be adding this dress to my summer wardrobe!!!

Love the dress

Pretty yarn when worked up although a bit splitting but all in all very nice. I wish all the colors were available

I want to order specific colors for one of the samples and I dont see these colors as options. Can you show me where other color options are? Or can I order without the yarn?

We Are Knitters

All available colors are shown next to the example pictures. We currently have 11 colors to chose from, you can combine any of them. Simply click on the color you want to fill the 5 circle swatches required for Samba Dress.
Remember that the left-most circle swatch is your main color and will get more skeins (check the number of skeins for each color below the swatches once you have made your selection). In the case of the Samba Dress, you also have a secondary color (2nd circle from left), and 3 contrast colors (1 skein per color)
Unfortunately, patterns that are part of a kit are not sold separately.

We are expecting to receive additional stock (10 colors) by early June 2026. Please subscribe to our newsletter to be informed as soon as they are available.

Do you have any pics of different colors knit up? I would prefer a darker color around the middle

I’d like to try this dress but I would need a color for the waist area that would not show my bulge there. Do you have any pics of this done up in different colors?

We Are Knitters

Unfortunately we do not have more pictures, apart from one shared by another customer in the Reviews of this kit.
Please note you can customize your Samba Dress the way you want, simply remember the colors you pick first will be your main colors.
