About this pattern

If you've been wanting to make a kids' sweater but feel nervous about it, start here. It's worked flat from cuff to cuff, and it comes out looking like it was knit.

The whole thing is half double crochet through the back loop only, which gives you that knit look fabric. It needs just two seams to become a sweater, and it's sized from Newborn through 12 Years, so you can keep making it as they grow.

Why you'll love it

  • Knit look fabric from simple back loop hdc
  • Sizes from Newborn all the way to 12 Years
  • Just two seams to finish
  • A sweater they can wear year after year as you size up

Came out very good! I think I could have done better, but that's not on the pattern, that is on me. I did have some clarification questions that were quickly and clearly answered so I could move forward. I did find the written pattern a little hectic in places, but the video balanced that out. I have purchased several of her patterns and they are all lovely-- I will purchase more!

This sweater was the perfect addition to the pants and completed the gift by embroidering the baby’s name on it.

This ended up being a beautiful sweater. I made two very quickly! I adjusted a few details, such as adding a placket to make it easier for removal from a baby's head and adding a name.

The pattern is easy to follow even for a beginner and the video is so helpful. The only thing I really struggled with was the neck, specifically the 4 YO size. I found that starting the neck in the middle of the back side instead of on the side of the neck helped it lay flat and fit better.

Easy pattern to follow and it works up pretty quickly. I purchased both the top & bottom to add with a blanket I made for a layette set … Everyone loves how it came out!@
