crochet baby cardigan

crochet baby cardigan,

hello everyone,

here I present my new design of 2018,its a baby cardigan with open collar.
I try to make my designs as simple as possible.i made this cardigan in grey color. you can  make this in different colors .this is classic vintage kind of cardigan.i have used red and white football button to add some color.you can style it and make more lively by adding some  crochet appliqué and for the girls you can do put crochet flower or do simple embroidery like lazy daisy stitch.you can add a pocket on chest for boys and for girls you can add two pockets on both sides.you can decorate this cardigan in many ways.
this cardigan has 2 button in a row, you can use second button for smaller baby to get him fit and as baby grows you can start using 1st button to fit him well.i hope you like my design.comment below what kind of tutorial/pattern you want me to do and don't forget to subscribe me on youtube
many thanks.

lets start working on cardigan.
I made this cardigan for 0-6 month old but after following my tutorial you can make it in bigger sizes as well.
this cardigan is worked in parts and then sew them together.i have used dark grey color in dk weight yarn with 3 mm crochet hook.you have to make back, left and right front and 2 sleeves .
design is very simple, I used double crochet.
