looking for Baby Dress or Sweater pattern using BULKY/SUPER BULKY yarn

[cheri54]

hello, i'm hoping someone out there knows of a baby dress or sweater pattern that is sized for using Bernat Baby Blanket yarn. i am no good at converting patterns from one type of yarn into something usable for another type of yarn.
i have two nieces expecting between may and july and thought to make something for next winter out of bulky yarn i already have. Bernat Baby Blanket yarn is so wonderfully soft, that i know it will make great clothes if i only had patterns...
i have tried the Bernat website, but found nothing except blankets, and sleep sacks, which i have already made more than they will need for years to come...lol

hi Barb, i went to the site you suggested and have completed both halves of that sweater. would you believe i can't figure out how to sew the two sides up the back? she gives photos, but i just can't tell what she did. another reason why i don't do too many items done in sections...lol my brain just doesn't want to comprehend what i'm seeing. but in this case, i can't see what she did...but whatever it was, it sure looks nice...lol
