Simple baby crochet cardigan or sweater

The best way to start the week: with a new project!

It´s been a while since I published a new pattern, so I’m happy to show you this cardigan or sweater. It´s a very simple and easy project, ideal for beginners and for those who want to crochet something for baby using very little material.

This cardigan is size 3 months old and is crocheted with double crochet. Ideal to practice how to crochet a yoke.

Here you can see the written instructions:


 

Yoke:

Row 1) Ch 51.

1 dc in the 5th ch from hook, 1 dc in each of the next 6 ch. Total: 8 dc (these stitches will form the left front side). 

Ch 2, 8 dc in the next 8 ch. Total: 8 dc (left sleeve).

Ch 2, 16 dc in the next 16 ch. Total: 16 dc (back).

Ch 2, 8 dc in the next 8 ch. Total: 8 dc (right sleeve).

Ch 2, 8 dc in the next 8 ch. Total: 8 dc (right front).

Total: 48 dc.

Row 2) Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 1 dc in each stitch of the previous row. In the ch 2 spaces crochet (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc). Repeat until end. Total: 56 dc.

Rows 3 to 8) Repeat row 2.

Total 64, 72, 80, 88, 96 and 104 dc each.

Row 9) Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 1 dc in each stitch of the previous row. In the ch 2 spaces crochet 2 dc. Repeat until end. Total: 112 dc.

In the row 10 we will divide the yoke into: fronts (16 dc each), sleeves (24 dc each) and back (32 dc).

Body:

Row 10) Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 14 dc in the next 14 stitches. Mark the 16th stitch, skip the next 24 stitches (sleeve). To make the dc for the beginning of the back, insert the hook into both, the 16th and the 41st, and finish working the dc as usual. 30 dc in the next 30 stitches.  Mark the 72nd stitch, skip the next 24 stitches (sleeve). To make the dc for the beginning of the right front, insert the hook into both, the 72nd and the 97th, and finish working the dc as usual. 15 dc in the next 15 stitches. Total: 62 dc.

Row 11) Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 1 dc in each stitch of the previous row. Total: 62 dc.

Row 12) Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 3 dc in the next 3 stitches.  2 dc in the 5th stitch of the row. Continue with 4 dc in the next 4 stitches and 2 dc in the 5th stitch until end. Total: 74 dc.

Sleeves:

  2. Thank You so very much. Previous to your patterns all I ever made were scarfs and hats. Your patterns are easy to follow. I’ve shown everyone my hexagon baby sweater.
    Your patterns are easy to follow for an amature like me.
