Introducing The Sweet Tooth Dress!

Flowing and elegant, the Sweet Tooth Dress is our latest pattern. A charming evolution of our Ice Cream Cone Top, now transformed into a dress with wide pleats and delicate i-cords woven through channels in the skirt. The cinched waist, with an optional elastic insert, and the folded neckline add gentle structure to this airy, comfortable design.

Although it might look like an ambitious project, don’t be intimidated! We’ve crafted this pattern to be approachable and enjoyable, using larger needles and soft, fluffy yarn that make it come together faster than you’d expect

Construction:

The Sweet Tooth Dress begins at the top with a folded neckline, worked using 4mm needles. From there, the dress is knit top-down, with whimsical yarn-over (YO) increases spiraling outward to shape the yoke before it's cast off. Using 9mm needles, stitches are then picked up along the cast-off edge, this creates a braided-like seam and gives the bust and sleeves a relaxed, airy fit.

Next, the needles switch 5.5mm to shape the waistband, adding gentle structure, before returning to 9mm for the flowing skirt.

The alternating needle sizes are key to the dress’s signature silhouette, creating soft volume through the bust and sleeves, balanced by the more defined waist and the graceful drape of the skirt.

Yarn & Styling:

The Sweet Tooth Dress can be knit in Melted Baby Suri or a fingering-weight yarn held together with a lace-weight strand. We recommend choosing a fluffy yarn base; the softness helps fill in the gaps between the looser stitches, offering both coverage and a cloud-like texture.

We've put together a collection of our yarn bases in the colours we currently have available to help you choose the perfect yarn for this project

Ideal for those in-between seasons when chilly mornings turn into warmer afternoons, this dress is both breathable and cozy. Want a shorter skirt? Simply stop knitting when you're happy with the length. Or go full-length and use the i-cords to cinch and tie little bows, creating a playful ruffled effect.

Versatile and flattering on all body types, the Sweet Tooth Dress effortlessly transitions from daytime ease to evening charm, and feels just as good as it looks.
