Hello Everyone!
It’s Friday again and I’m here with my first baby sweater crochet pattern! Are you excited? Because I am super excited! This sweater was a ton of fun to make and the texture you see at the bottom is a simple combination of beginner friendly stitches. If you can work a double crochet and a single crochet you can make this super cute baby sweater.
My fiancée and I have some friends who are expecting soon so I’ve been designing baby patterns. I have a few more sweaters that are rough designed as well and I’ll be finishing them up in the next few weeks so you’ll be seeing more baby patterns in the near future as well! I’ve made them several other things as well such as these easy peasy baby booties, and these spotted baby booties!

Before we go
As always I hope you all enjoyed today’s pattern, I’ve really been loving making baby sweaters lately. Clothing is probably my favorite thing to crochet and baby clothes are just tiny clothes that work up super quickly so what’s not to love! This is the first time I used this yarn, and I absolutely love it, I plan on buying some more colors of it soon to make more baby items.
