Materials You’ll Need to Make This Crochet Baby Sweater
For this project, choose a 5 mm crochet hook and medium-weight yarn such as Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton. Its fibers are 100% cotton, making your garment safe to wash in the washing machine. While some cottons tend to be rough, this yarn is incredibly soft to the touch.
Can I Make This Crochet Sweater in Toddler Sizes?
The Single Crochet Baby Sweater Pattern includes instructions for creating a baby sweater in sizes 3–6 months. If you want to make this garment for a toddler, consider using a larger hook. You can also adjust the initial chain for the body to increase the width or add extra rows at the bottom to make it longer.
Can I Make This Crochet Baby Hoodie for a Boy?
The designer used a beautiful pastel pink to create the sample visible in the photos. However, this lovely crochet sweater hoodie is suitable for both baby girls and baby boys. Just swap the pink shade for pastel blue or green and you will get a cozy garment for your son.
