The Kids Cozy Cabled Sweater Dress

I was so excited to make this sweater dress for my girl. When I designed the adult version last year, my first thought was that my daughter would definitely want one. Not only is it super cute, but it’s so comfortable!
This sweater features stretchy ribbed cuffs that match the bottom band. But it’s the wide cable detail that really steals the show. Pair it with leggings or tights, and your kid is ready for any occasion.

This pattern includes a full picture tutorial showing how to work the cable stitches.
