Not only is this dress stylish, it is the definition of comfy and totally fun to knit too. Featuring a top down raglan construction, there is zero seaming, and you can knit the dress and sleeves as long as you please! The intertwining cable pattern down the front offers a fun twist on a basic knit dress. Pair it with tights and boots, and it’s the ideal Winter ensemble! It will work for anywhere your day may take you, from the office, to a date, to a night out on the town with your girlfriends. This pattern also features an option to make this design a long tunic style sweater, perfect for pairing with skinny jeans or leggings.
The Dress version of this design features waist shaping, while the Long Sweater version has no waist shaping. Both options can be knit as long as you like, that is completely up to you! The sleeves are custom as well with options for a ¾ length and long sleeve included. The cable pattern is given both written and charted for your pattern reading preference.
