Welcome to this free pattern! With this simple and fun pattern you will be able to crochet a toddler pullover for your child, grandchild, niece, nephew… or any child that you love.The pullover is seamless, worked top-down and in the round. The pattern features one size only, but it’s very easily customizable - I will give you the tips in the next steps. The final effect should be a comfortable, slightly oversize pullover, perfect for spring. Let’s get to work!

You will need:

5 skeins of Fibra Natura Cottonwood cotton (or any DK weight yarn) - I used 230 grams, which is about 525 metres/575 yards,
a 4.5 mm (G/7) crochet hook,
a 3 mm crochet hook for the ribbing, (in the US system for hooks there’s no 3 mm, but the internet suggests using C-2 or D-3 hook)
scissors, tapestry needle

I used 3 colours - cream, red and green and I used about 1.5 skeins of red, 1.5 skeins of green and 2 skeins of white. You can make it in any colour that you like :)
