The Edgewater Sweater Dress is one of my designs that makes me most proud! I really wasn’t sure I could pull off a sweater dress that would be flattering on any body type! But with this one, I truly believe it will look great on anyone!
Pattern Details
The Edgewater Sweater Dress is made with Lion Brand Jeans Yarn in the colorway Faded. I just love it! Jeans yarn is a lightweight worsted weight (#4) yarn that is very soft and has an amazing drape.
You’ll need 425-2100 yards of worsted weight (#4) yarn, depending on what size you make.
When you purchase the pattern you’ll get two pattern downloads! One pattern for children’s sizes 2-10 and one for adult sizes XS-2X.
The workup is really quite easy. You work it from the bottom up workup with the cowl neck and sleeves added at the end.
Therefore, you can adjust the length any way you want. If you want a really long dress just add more to the bottom portion of the dress. If you prefer to make it into just a tunic or a sweater, just work less length.
You’ll find that the pattern is rated intermediate in difficulty. The stitches used are very basic and create a great texture and stretch. You will need to be able to take measurements and try on as you go to get the best fit and look.
