This charming ballet sweater was designed to accompany the dress in the photo above. The designer’s most adorable one-year-old niece needed a cardigan to go with this frothy confection of a holiday dress, and a ballet sweater fit the bill perfectly.

Crocheted in simple yet elegant Snow Stitch, this sweater can be dressed down with a pair of blue jeans, or be the quintessential topper for leotards and ballet slippers.

While detailed instructions are given in the pattern for sizes from 12 months to 5T, a guide is provided with the pattern for doing the math if you’d like to create this sweater for a bigger girl or even an adult.
