This little Santa-inspired dress would be adorable for those Christmas card photos, or to wear for pictures with Santa.

Pair with Christmas-y tights, in candy canes, or stripes, for a cute little Santa’s helper outfit.

Use snowflake buttons on the front to add a little personality, or change it up with Christmas ornaments, candy canes, gingerbread men, etc.

Knit in the round in one piece, this cuddly raglan dress knits up in a weekend, and would be a great gift for Baby’s First Christmas.

Pick a sparkly yarn, like Caron Simply Soft Party in Red for a more glitzy version; or knit in green for a less expected, but still holiday-inspired dress.

Size 6-9 months is 18” around at the chest, and 15” long.

Looking for a larger size? Santa’s Toddler Christmas Cutie comes in 2T-5. Save $1.90 when you buy both patterns together!

Look for matching hat and mittens in my Ravelry store.
