THANK YOU Virginia and Vanessa for testing this pattern.Even though I assigned sizes to this pattern, it will fit a wider range. No sleeves to get to short and no button on the front to get too tight.
SIZES:
0-6 and 9-18 months
MATERIALS:
0-6 months
Sports weight yarn approximately 2 ounces
US size G (4.5 mm) crochet hook
Tapestry needle
9-18 month
Worsted weight yarn approximately 4 ounces
US size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
Tapestry needle
SPECIAL STITCHES:
Small Shell: = Sm shell = (dc, ch1, dc)
Large Shell: = Lg shell = (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc)
Picot: = Ch 3, slipstitch in third chain from hook
Sc Dec: = Insert hook in next st, draw up a loop, (two loops on hook), insert hook in next st, draw up a lp (3 loops on hook), YO and draw through all 3 loops.
NOTES:
1. Read pattern all the way through before beginning.
2. The pattern for both sizes is the same. Use the yarn and hook in the materials list to achieve the different sizes.

ReplyDeleteP.S. Are you on ravelry? Before I post pics I want to give your pattern credit.
ReplyDeleteMy patterns are no longer linked on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteWell let me know if there's a place I can post a pic, this worked up so speedy and the gage was perfect! I love giving props to designers, I completely suck at writing patterns! ;) I plan on raffling this sweater for our World Vision fund raiser, if I have your permission. :)
ReplyDeleteOf course you can donate it to raffle off for charity. I love hearing what people are doing for others.

ReplyDeleteI am a little confused by row 10. Do I just keep working on the one sleeve or go across the back to the other?
ReplyDeleteYou are skipping the sleeves all together and working only the two fronts and back.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I am new to this and other than that was doing pretty well! Very excited to finish now! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this pattern, one of these will look beautiful on my little girl come spring.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzetta...My name is Teresa...I absolutely love all your patterns....thank you very much for sharing them......I come here often....and still look thru all the ones I already saw lol....
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, you made my day.
ReplyDeleteThank you trying it now..will let u know the results n outcome.
ReplyDeletebeI'm so glad I found your site. It's great! I'm wondering if you have a crochet pattern for a small (18mo-2yr)child's poncho using a medium weight yarn? I have some Caron Simply Soft on hand and would like to use that if possible.
ReplyDeleteThanks a million.
Joyce
I haven't designed any poncho patterns there are so many available on other sites. If I wanted to make one I would look first to crochetpatterncentral.com
ReplyDeleteI made this using Bernat chunky and a J hook, and it fits a 4 year old. I also love the fact that I finished it in an afternoon!
ReplyDeleteSo easy and fun to make. Please make a hat and booties to match
