The Meadow Cardigan Dress is a lovely addition to any baby girl’s wardrobe. It is perfect for the Spring and Summer seasons. It can be worn as a short-sleeve cardigan sweater with the opening in the front, or the other way with the buttoned opening in the back as a dress. This particular design features a beautiful, lacy pattern with a sweet and simple trim bordering the main color. As a relatively quick and easy pattern to work up, you’ll have fun crocheting this special handmade gift for your little one, or as a sentimental and heartfelt newborn baby shower gift for an expecting mom! It will surely be treasured for years to come!

The PDF pattern file includes instructions to guide you through the entire cardigan dress-making process and includes numerous photo references and clear, written instructions.
