Crochet half sleeve cardigan




This is the cardigan that I knitted for my 18 months daughter. I followed the tutorial from the youtube video called "EASY crochet baby cardigan tutorial". Thanks to the person who shared such a nice and easy pattern.

For this cardigan, I had to do some mathematical calculation because the original video was for a baby of 0-3 months and i was knitting for a toddler. I started with 120 chains with 4mm hook. I do not exactly remember how many rows I knitted before making the sleeve but I just measure on my daughter body, until I thought it is enough.

For the sleeve, I knitted 35 chains instead of 28 as described in the video.
The tricky part is after you add the sleeve. I did some calculation and figured out that it will be 11-14 for 120 stitches instead of 9-11.

I also added a flower in a cardigan following a tutorial from the youtube called
"How to crochet a flower"

Here is my daughter wearing a cardigan.
