The Double Cross Sweater Dress

When I designed the Double Cross Cardigan, I noticed that the stitch pattern really complimented my shape. It was then I decided that I must incorporate the design into a sweater dress. And I’m so glad I did.
The Double Cross Sweater Dress features the spiked double crochet stitch worked in a lovely, textured criss-cross pattern. Custom-sized sleeves and waist shaping let you make a beautiful sweater dress that you can feel confident and beautiful in.
