Soft, warm, and beautiful – this crochet baby set deserves a place in your little one’s wardrobe! The pattern provides instructions for making an elegant baby jacket and a matching hat with a big, fluffy pom pom at the top. Whether you’re looking for a lovely gift idea or a comfy handmade outfit for your baby, this project will do great for both!
What Crochet Stitches Do I Need to Know?
It’s an intermediate-level pattern that will suit those with experience in crocheting garments. The cardigan is worked in one piece, starting with half double crochets and then moving on to work it with shell stitches that create beautiful texture. The sleeves are crocheted directly on the body and finished with modern ribbed cuffs.
What Yarn Weight Should I Use For This Pattern?
For best results, use DK-weight yarn such as King Cole Baby Comfort Double Knitting. It’s a delicate acrylic blend yarn that ensures softness and warmth. It’s available in plenty of beautiful solid colors, so you can easily find one that suits your baby’s gender or wardrobe.
The designer also used King Cole Comfort Kids in a variegated colorway for the colorful accents.
What Are The Finished Measurements Of The Cardigan?
The finished crochet baby cardigan and hat will suit a baby aged 3 to 6 months. It offers the perfect fit for infants measuring about 18” in the chest. The jumpsuit is approx 11” long and the sleeves from underarm to cuff are 5.5”. To obtain the same dimentions be sure to use the suggested yarn weight and a 4.50 mm hook.
