Sweater Set Pattern

Although this pattern is for the sweater set in the middle, it can easily be adapted for either of the two side sets. For the white and green set simply substitute plain dc for shell rows. For the pink one on the right don't change colors. I used an H hook and sport weight yarn and get 4 dc = 1 inch. These sets are newborn size.

V stitch dc, ch1, dc in same stitch

Shell stitch sc, 3dc in same

Row 2-6: join main color and ch 3, dc in each dc and V stitch in each V stitch.

Hi Deb,
I am almost done with the sweater
and it is coming out great!! Thank you so much for the help.
I was wondering if you would know
how many rows of dc you would add
to make long sleeves. Once again
thank you for such a great pattern.
The hat is done and it looks awesome!!!

DebsCrafts said...

Eight rows and then the scallop pattern row should be about right. Or 9 rows without the pattern.

I love the pattern. I'm expecting my first child on Turkey day. I was wondering if you could tell me what weight yarn you used and what size hook? Thanks

DebsCrafts said...

I used an H hook and sport weight yarn and get 4 dc = 1 inch.

Deb, this was my first attempt at crocheting a sweater for my baby, and it couldn't have been simpler. Your instructions were so easy to follow, and it came out so cute! Thank you so much for sharing it.

Lisa said...

Very cute, but there seems to be an error in the first line. Shouldn't it be dc in the first 5 dc, not 5dc in first 5 dc?

This is cute-but you need long sleeves on it. Could you adapt it?

Neeraja said...

Hi, I am having a bit of a problem with row 7. I know I am doing something wrong, but not sure what. I am left with 7 stitches for each of the front flaps after that round. I dc 7, dc v stitches together, dc 14, repeat for the other side. Am I missing something? It is doesn't look like the picture!

debralsmith said...

Yes, the V-stitches, starting with the first row should be adding one dc to each front flap and 2 dc to the back with each row. By the time you reach row 7 you should be working with 14, 28 and 14 stitches. You are probably skipping over the "extra" stitches added by the V-stitches.

I HAVE USED SEVERAL OF YOUR PATTERNS AND LOVED THEM. THIS SWEATER SET STUMPED ME !! USING AN "H" HOOK AND BERNAT SOFTEE CHAINING 52 IS WAY WAY TOO SMALL !!
I ASSUMED YOUR USING "SPORT" WEIGHT WOULD BE THE SAME, 3 PLY.
I MEASURED MY NEIGHBORS NEW BORN 7-1/2 LB BABY AND ADJUSTED TO 90 CHAIN WITH 14,V,16,V,24,V,16,V,14.
IT FITS PERFECTLY.
