There’s truly nothing we love more in winter than a stylish turtleneck sweater dress – your absolutely necessary piece (aka SINE QUA NON), that makes you feel confident and comfortable in winter. Length of cuffs anknit warm sweaterd collar can be worked to desired length. Decide whether you wish to leave a simple V-neck or add a generous turtleneck so you won’t need a scarf when wearing this dress. It’s easy to style it with any long coat and boots for a fashion-forward winter look – see video with this dress on my Instagram.

A special thanks to all Ravelers who have shown so much love to this pattern www.ravelry.com/designers/conceptcreativestore during a short time after publishing it!

CONSTRUCTION:
This sweater dress is made in four rectangular trapezoids sewn together to a relaxed silhouette with not well-defined shoulders – thus, it suits all types of shoulders (broad, narrow, sloping or straight).
The main part in each trapezoid is worked in straight rows, back and forth, with the same number of stitches. You will repeat the same 2 elements over and over. For shaping each trapezoid you will decrease 1 stitch per stated number of rows (this number differs for sizes, but you will decrease 1 stitch per row). A constant repeat of the same rows and no shaping makes this pattern suitable for intermediate-level crafters who enjoy watching TV while creating their dreamiest outfits.

As we all are getting ready for colder seasons I created another Huge Unisex Scarf! 😊

This parallelogram shaped piece was my TV project that allowed my hands to switch between crocheting and knitting. My hands are never hurt since I design items that don’t require tight stitching like bags, hats or amigurumis, but it is still great to alternate between crochet and knitting and avoid repetitive strains on my hands.

What about a pocket-scarf? Hm… I bought one French faux fur pocket scarf in about 2007 and even after 13 years of putting my hands into cozy yammy 😊 pockets they still look elegant with my collarless coat. And almost like new ones :). Which I can’t say about crochet and knitted pockets – I remember they got stretched in all my knitted kid’s jackets after a few hours of active wear. Except for discreet side-seam pockets – the baggy parts in such pockets remained invisible.

So, I’d rather keep this scarf/wrap more elegant so it can be draped over the shoulders.

Till September 2nd 2020 this pattern will be 15 % off with the code HANDMADE on Ravelry and Etsy.

The pattern includes instructions for width 33 cm = 13’’ and two lengths:
145 cm = 57‘’ for women’s scarf and
216 cm = 85‘’ for men’s scarf.

However, you can knit a longer or a shorter project.

Both scarfs have only a few narrow purl-sections for accentuating visually interesting patterns, so do not worry if your stockinette stitch is uneven – your finished work will still look like a designer-piece, a stylish Christmas gift for your loved ones.

Stitches used: knit; purl; yarn over; knit 2 stitches together; purl 2 stitches together (photos of these basic stitches are not included);
slip 2 stitches onto cable needle and hold in the back, knit 3rd stitch, yarn over, knit 2 stitches from the cable needle (photos included).
