Pattern Description:

My daughter (as with most of my designs) was the main inspiration for this beautiful coat dress. She loves dressing up, being beautiful, and always, always has to have on something stylish.

She has always HATED wearing winter coats ( I quess they aren't cute enough?) so when Fall starting blowing in, I had to come up with something that would appease her.

This vintage inspired, baby/toddler, girls, knitted coat-dress is ideal to keep your (and my) little one warm this winter and will dress-up any outfit. Knit with Brown Sheep Co, Inc.
