This pattern was finished in just over a week for me.
It’s a charming mix of cables and stockinette, to
create an apron dress for babies aged 3mo-2
years. It’s worked flat, beginning with the bodice,
then straps are added at the end. The cable motif is
an intermediate level knitting technique, but it’s
not hard to learn! Pay close attention to the
wrapped stitches directions in the special terms
section to be able to make these x-shaped cables
with ease!
