The Cozy Cabled Sweater Dress

When I saw that velvet yarn was making a comeback, I got so excited! I had a few knit velvet pullovers back in the 90’s, and they were my favourite things to wear. So naturally, when the new velvet yarns came out, I knew I would have to design a sweater.
This sweater dress features a simple design, with a wide, bold cable running down the front. It pairs beautifully with leggings or skinny jeans. And the length is fully customizable, so you can make it a typical pullover length, or even a cropped sweater!

This pattern includes a full picture tutorial that explains how to create the wide cable detail.
