This gender-neutral sweater is designed for a baby 0-6 months with a button-closed collar for easy dressing. The sweater is created in a top down fashion, starting with the decorative yoke. The body and arms of the sweater are made in linked double crochet stitch (stitch instructions included), making a flatter, more solid fabric than the traditional double crochet while still working up quickly. The pattern includes plenty of photos to help you along the way. This fast, cozy pattern makes a great last-minute shower baby shower gift.
