This is a baby knit dress made from a recycled adult sweater.

I followed the tutorial for the baby knit dress from the Make It Love It blog.

Here's a another pic of the sweater dress

I thought her instructions were easy to follow and the step by step tutorial with pics was really helpful. I cut mine a bit straighter so it doesn't have quite as much of an A-line shape but other then that I followed the directions.

It's a great way to use up some old sweaters. This one was a pretty think sweater that was a bit small for me so I never wore it but I like the colors and pattern. I think it made a cute dress. I think only thin or medium weight sweaters would work for this pattern as a chunky sweater I don't think would lay right.

Looks cute, would like to see a bigger photo than the thumbnail if possible :) I just checked out the link for your baby dress pattern. Its very well laid out and lots of photo instruction. I have two baby nieces and this would make nice dresses for them :)
