I loved this project and it turned out so cute! I get compliments every time I wear the dress. The instructions were easy to follow.
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.
I really enjoyed knitting this dress. The pattern was easy to follow and the end result is good looking and comfortable. The videos explaining different steps we really helpful.
I have not yet finished!
So far everything has been a joy to knit!
I have been following @paula.on.knits for a while and Im very proud of her accomplishments in collaborating with WAK. Her patterns are easy to follow and the garments are sooo effing cute.
I love this dress! Easy to make and so flattering. I loved it so much I ordered more yarn and made it in another color!
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 !
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.
I’m doing this dress for my grand daughter and I’m really enjoying making it. The yarn is really nice and the colors are bright and pretty.
I received everything I needed and it is a fun knit. Also the price was reasonable.
Love this kit!
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!!!
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?
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.
I only see Khaki for the color choice and it won't let me add it to the cart. Please help!
Currently, only 3 colors are available (Khaki, Light Grey and Poppy Red).
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.

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?
