This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download

Available in one size only, size 0-3 months. I may add sizes 3-6 and 6-12 months in the future, but for now, just the wee one! Perfect for fall or spring days! Knit in cotton for warmer weather, and wool paired with tights for cooler. Exact measurements are provided in the pattern.

This pattern is a simply written, classic top down sweater dress. If you remember the fit of baby dresses in the 90s, that’s exactly what you can expect for this! Not too tight, not too loose, with a slightly cropped length. You can easily lengthen the skirt if desired. This would look adorable with knit bloomers/diaper cover if worn in the spring.

This dress is without neck shaping, so if you want a higher back, you may want to incorporate some shaping. A note is included in the pattern as to when you may want to do so, but know that shaping is not included in the pattern.

Materials:
• One pair US 1.5 (2.5mm) circulars
o If you don’t use magic loop, you will also need US 1.5 DPNs for the sleeves
• One pair US 2.5 (3mm) circulars
• One tapestry/yarn needle
• Four stitch markers
• Tape measure
• Scrap yarn or stitch holders
• 2 skeins of Anna & Clara’s 100% Organic Cotton 8/4
o or 350 yds./100g/320m of a comparable yarn in fingering/sock weight (KnitPicks Comfy Fingering would be perfect!)
• 5 9mm buttons
