A few weeks ago, I cast on a test knit for my talented friend, Cosy, for her latest design, Orsolya.
To say I enjoyed it would be an understatement.
Not only did I finish this with lightening speed (after all, it’s knit with worsted weight)…
…I’ve already cast on for a second which is half way done, and I have a third going on directly after I’m done binding off. I’ve had some yarn sitting in the stash for at least five years waiting for the perfect project and this is it!
This dress is such a fabulous little knit; I can not begin to tell you how sweet it is.
The bit of eyelet trim, the teeny pockets…
The top down construction with no seaming.
It’s a great length for toddling around, although I believe Cosy also includes a shorter tunic length if you’d rather that.
For this knit I worked up the 18m size using some Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora, which sadly has been discontinued. It blocked out with an ever-so-slight halo (love!), and the stitches “fulled out” a bit, causing my gauge to go a little wide. That’s OK, she’ll get plenty of use out of this. This year as a dress… next year as a top.
Oh I can’t wait for Cosy to get this one published for you to try out! Make sure to check out her Ravelry shop or her book for a bunch of her other designs.
It's Two AM 
The dress is adorable. You did a nice job and the colors are so sweet. Your model is also adorable!
Thank you so much! My model is getting too big too quick… what am I going to do?
It looks beautiful on. Great pattern Cosy and nice job Cheryl.
Thank you! I don’t know if it’s the eyelet trim or those cheeks that make the shots 😉
wow does she look like the firstborn! darling – both the knit and the kiddo. happy 4th
She does indeed!! They are the bookends, for sure! Happy 4th to you as well!
Totally love! Made a Minnowknits dress for my grand daughter last spring.
Thank you for the props!! Don’t little baby dresses knit up fast? I’m on the last three rows of my second and will probably cast on for my third later tonight!
Where can I find the pattern???
so CUTE
Thank you Denise!! The pattern hasn’t been published yet, I was test knitting it for Cosy who will be publishing it soon. Her shop is at http://www.ravelry.com/designers/cosette-cornelius-bates
Hope that helps and thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a lovely comment!
Wow that’s super cute! When will the pattern be available?
Thanks so much Charlotte! I’m about 25% done with my third, so I can guarantee how much fun it is to knit 😉 I’m not exactly sure when the pattern will be available, but I think it will be soon. You can go to cosymakes.com and send Cosy a message and she can probably give you a better idea!
Thank so much for stopping by and leaving a little love!
