This cute baby sweater pattern is for a baby size 0-2 months (size 50-56), 2-4 months (62), 4-6 months (68) and 6-9 months (74). The pattern is written with US terms. The sweater is worked from top to bottom, starting with the ribbing around the neckline, working a foundation for the arms and body, then working only the body, and finishing the arms last.
