Frosty Alpine Baby & Child Sweater
"This crochet pattern for a baby and child sweater uses the alpine stitch, creating a warm, dense fabric that’s both comfortable and visually textured. The alpine stitch’s unique ridges and tight weave make this sweater perfect for cooler weather, adding both warmth and a sophisticated look to your little one’s wardrobe. It’s a pattern that showcases a beautiful texture without being too complex, making it ideal for crocheters looking to create a cozy and stylish piece with a bit of flair. Designed as a top-down, seamless raglan, this sweater offers a comfortable fit and easy construction. The pattern includes a convenient button closure at the back, making it easy to slip on and off, especially for younger children. By avoiding seams, this sweater feels smooth and soft against the skin, without the bulk that sometimes comes with joining pieces. The worsted-weight yarn not only ensures warmth but also lends itself to a sturdy, long-lasting garment, perfect for everyday wear. Available in sizes ranging from 3 months to 14 years, this classic, gender-neutral design works well for both boys and girls. With its simple lines and timeless style, this sweater is a versatile piece that can be paired with anything from jeans to dresses. It’s a free pattern that allows crocheters of all skill levels to create a special handmade garment, one that will be treasured by kids and parents alike. /PATTERN DETAILS • Baby & child sweater crochet pattern • Sizes 3 (6, 12, 18, 24) months (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14) years. • Featuring the alpine stitch: warm dense fabric, beautiful texture • Top down seamless raglan • Button closure in the back • Worsted weight • Classic & gender neutral style /MATERIALS • 5 mm / US H – 8 hook • Worsted weight yarn: Royal Zeeman yarn (100% acrylic, 100g/3.5oz, 241m/264yd): 2 (2,2, 3, 3) (4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7) skeins in pink color • 3 x 15 mm buttons • Tapestry needle to weave in the ends.
