Effortlessly chic and deceptively simple, the Zukhanye Dress is a sleeveless, knee-length A-line dress designed for comfort and graceful movement. Knit from the top down in DK weight yarn (or fingering weight held double), this dress features a flattering scoop neckline at both the front and back, with optional short rows to create a gentle high-low hemline.
Thoughtfully placed inseam pockets add to its laid-back feel, making it a perfect everyday piece you’ll reach for all season long. The clean construction and flowing silhouette make it an ideal project for knitters who enjoy rhythmic, meditative knitting with beautiful drape as the reward.
Whether you dress it up with sandals or keep it casual with sneakers, Zukhanye is designed to move with you — light, easy, and quietly luxurious.
