There is truly nothing quite so adorable as crocheted clothing, hats and booties for a new baby, and believe me, I'm taking advantage of this! After running to the craft store in Jerusalem to buy yarn and then figuring out how to use it (not recommended, by the way!) the first item I crocheted was this wonderful top-down construction bobble baby cardigan with no seams, yippee! This is a great beginner friendly pattern, though I do recommend getting your tension and technique down pat before crocheting clothing, for the best results. And then, when you are ready to crochet a baby sweater, this is a perfect pattern to try, as with double crochet stitches it is somewhat forgiving, and no seams means discrepancies in your tension might not be detectable? Plus the bobble, which is a truly simple stitch brings this sweater to the next level! I love how the sweater looks with cuffed sleaves, but keep reading to see it with sleaves unfolded. Ah yes, and while I chose to make this into a color blocked sweater, if you have some great yarn to show off, go with one color, or just opt to do the trim and tie in a second color. Get a little bit creative to make it extra special and unique to you! Ready to get started? Lets do it!
You'll Need:
- Crochet baby bubble tea sweater free pattern
- yarn of your choice, pattern calls for 5.5mm hook, I used cotton/acrylic yarn that is for a 5mm hook, and sweater size is at least 6 months, possibly larger
- a rough plan regarding use of color, whether to follow the original pattern with all one color, or go with something closer to my version with 2 colors
Truly just so sweet, and quite quick actually, need to make another and keep track of the hours, but it was made in one day, so maybe four to five hours?
Above: Here is the sweater from the back, truly a great pattern and worth giving a try.
Happy crocheting!
