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?

This pattern is absolutely awesome! I've been making blankets and small flowers and such for years, but have never been brave enough to tackle any kind of clothing. I just made your pattern with some red heart yarn and an I hook (just wanted to see if I could do it, wasn't too concerned about gauge). I noticed the neckline fit my five year old perfectly, so I just added a few extra rows of v stitches to make the arm holes larger and ended up with a sweater that fits her perfectly. All in one afternoon and just a single ball of yarn! Very cute, very easily adaptable, and so simple. Thank you so much!
very cute and easy sweater . I crocheted some flowers to add to the add and sweater turned out gorgeous. Thanks!!
