A direct drive motor for a washing machine and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The motor may include a stator having a winding part with a coil wound thereon, a rotor frame including a side wall part and a rear wall part, the rotor frame being connected to a shaft that drives a drum of a washing machine, and a permanent magnet provided at an inner surface of the side wall part of the rotor frame. The permanent magnet may be formed of a resin material, with a plurality of magnetic poles that alternate in a circumferential direction to form a sine wave magnetization pattern. Such a direct drive motor may reduce cogging torque, noise and vibration.
