I love making baby clothes ~ they give such a quick reward!
When I find a pattern I like I make several and play around with colours and finishing touches.
The addition of pretty buttons or a little crochet flower make each one individual.
4mm hook
Ch 42
R1: Dc in 4th ch from hook and in the next 4 ch, (dc, ch1, dc) in the next ch, dc in the next 6 ch, (dc, ch1, dc) in the next ch, dc in the next 12 ch, (dc, ch1, dc) in the next ch, dc in the next 6 ch, (dc, ch1,dc) in the next ch, dc in the last 6 ch.
R2-8: Ch2, turn * dc in each st to ch1-space, (dc, ch1, dc) in the ch 1-space, repeat from * dc in each remaining sts.
R9: (dividing row for sleeves) Ch2, turn, * dc in each ch to the ch1-space, dc in ch 1-space, skip to the next ch1-space, dc in ch1-space * repeat one more time, dc in remaining sts.
R 10-16: Ch2, turn, dc in each st across (do not fasten off)
Ch1, turn, sc in each st across, 2 sc in each side, 1 dc in each neck chain, with 3 sc in each corner, fasten off with a slip st to the first sc.
Add a second row in a contrasting colour if desired.
Fasten with a button or two ~ or with a chain tie (40ch) added to each neck corner
These little short sleeved cardis are based on ~
Have fun
They are sweet and very pretty Marianna, the finishing touches make all the difference. :)
ReplyDeleteThese little cardigans are so cute! i particularly love the white one with the colorful flower and edging.
ReplyDeleteI also love to crochet baby clothes! It's so addictive, they're so cute and so fast to make!
Yes, I love making baby clothing for that same reason...instant gratification! and there is always demand for them ;-) Your tops are super cute.
ReplyDeleteI love the edgings. They finish them off nicely.
ReplyDeleteThose baby sweater are so very sweet.. Love them all. Hugs Judy

What is dk yarn? Do you have a favorite brand? I like your pattern and hope to try it sometime. Thanks for your help.
ReplyDeleteHello -
DeleteDK is 8 ply (11 wpi) yarn. Hope that helps.
I don't have a particular favourite brand. This little baby top looks good in any similar weight yarn.
Best wishes. M
You would dc up to the ch-1 sp, then 1 dc into the ch 1 sp, then go to the next ch 1 sp and dc into that. Once you've done that continue to dc up to the next ch 1 sp and repeat the process. This is what creates your sleeves. Hope this helps!! Best of luck with your sweater.!! Lola J
DeleteBeautiful cardigans! I am a bit confused tho about the R9 - to the ch1 place I once have to do 1dc and next ch1 I skip totally? Thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteJust tried your patterns for 3-6 month baby sweater. Really loved the pattern, very easy for sure a beautiful result!!! Thank you!!!Lola J
