I just had to do it, I had already designed patterns for the hat and booties, I just had to crochet a sweater to match. This months project in All_Crafts_4_Charity is for a maternity center in northern Canada that serves the Inuit tribes. I wanted to create something really warm and cuddly for the babies. I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease, the color is red sprinkles. This was on clearance at two local Michaels stores. There was only one color on sale which was why I checked at the second one. (Sigh) It was also the only color on clearance there, too. To make what's becoming a long story short, I bought all they had at both stores so the babies are getting a lot of red items.

Thank you for sharing this pattern! This is my first sweater I've ever made. The instructions were very easy & it was a lot of fun!
Off to make the hat now. ;o)
Such a cute sweater! How could I adapt the pattern to fit a toddler or child?
Thanks!
I'm going to be working on larger sizes and will post the pattern when I get it worked out.
Just made this sweater yesterday. I loved how it worked up & how easy it was to make. Every couple of rows I would hold it up & say to anyone in ear shot "how cute this is, isn't this cute?" When it was finished everyone agreed that it was very cute. I would love it if you gave directions on how to make it in larger sizes as my granddaughters are 2 yrs old & older.
Very cute. Have you designed any baby blankets?
