DIY Crochet Sweater for Babies

Crochet is one discipline of needlework and is a close cousin to knitting. If you know stitches and instructional cues, you can follow most patterns. A beginner, on the other hand, might find a garment pattern quite difficult to follow. A simple baby sweater pattern that a beginner should be able to follow would involve the easier stitches such as chains, single and double crochets, and slip stitches.

Prepare everything before starting your project, such as the yarn, and the needle. Remember to use good fabric yarn because you don’t want your baby to get irritated. After making this item, you'll feel more confident and you can move onto more complex projects.
Choose your yarn. Lightweight yarn and baby or fingering yarn are used for baby items. There are many different companies that make yarn for baby clothing. The yarns are available in blended, pastel and solid colors, and are very soft. Yarn color inconsistency can ruin an otherwise lovely project, so be sure your dye lot numbers match exactly.
Decide on a pattern. Pick what appeals to you in appearance, stitch requirements and complexity. Easy-to-follow steps and simple transitions from one section to another are of paramount importance. Choose what types of sweater that you like from our gallery.
Pick the appropriate sized hook. Baby items are usually crocheted with F, G, H or I hooks, or 3 mm to 5.5 mm sizes. Some more complex patterns require several different sized hooks to complete one sweater.
Check your gauge when you begin your project. The gauge appears as an equation at the beginning of the pattern: 9 dc = 4 inches; or 6 rows = 4 inches, for example. Following recommended yarn type and hook size usually results in obtaining the correct gauge.
In adjusting the size you can do a great number of things. The easiest thing is to use a bigger needle to work the pattern. This will make the piece look nice, but may make it look "looser" than the original pattern. The other way is to add stitches using the needle recommended. If your pattern is worked over 5 stitches, then increase 5 stitches for each additional length.
