Hello friends. In the very beginning of the summer, I was excited to crochet a baby granny square sweater.
I made one a long time ago found here and in the photo shown below. I crocheted the sweater with thin yarn.
This time I decided I would try to crochet another sweater using a thicker type of baby yarn in a light blue color. I had this yarn left over from a granny square baby blanket that I made for my niece.
I really enjoy making baby granny square blankets for family members who are expecting to have a baby.
Crochet Baby Sweater |
I found an easy pattern that I liked when I was searching for one on Pinterest. The pattern can be found here.
The sweater pattern calls for making 12 granny squares. If you can crochet a granny square and sew them together than you will have no problem making this baby sweater.

Once I had all of the granny squares made I then started crocheting them together. I thought that it would be easier but then I changed to sewing them together. When you crochet the squares together it leaves a ridge in the middle of the seam.

I enjoyed working on this sweater and it comes together very fast. I will be donating this to our annual crochet/knit sale this fall at our church.
Sewing the Baby Sweater |
DETAILS:
The pattern can be found here.
For crocheting this baby sweater I used Red Heart baby yarn. You can use any kind of baby yarn you like for this project.
For crocheting this baby sweater I used a US size I crochet hook.
If I crochet any more baby sweaters with this pattern, I will make one in a larger size next time. The baby sweater shown above is a size that will fit a very small baby.
I hope I've inspired you to make a baby sweater too. If you start this project now than you will have enough time to make one for a Christmas gift. These baby sweaters make great baby shower gifts too.
Coming soon you will see the crocheted baby hat I made to match this sweater.
There's nothing sweeter than little handmade baby things. I have a vintage sweater that I put on one of my dolls! lol Hugs!
