Crochet Baby Set Part 1, Sweater with two Granny Hexagons for 1.5 years to 2 years Baby

 

Hello friends,

Many of my friends or subscribers of my Youtube channel Kalopasak requested me to make baby sweater with two granny hexagons. So I made this set. Here first we shall see how to make this sweater. It's beautiful and very simple to make.

I used Vardhaman Millenium yarn and 3,5mm hook. It's width is 11.5" and height 12". Weight 160 gm.

PATTERN: Make a ring of ch4.

R1: in the ring make (dc3, ch2) called shell, 6 times, cl. Sl st in dc-sts and sl st in ch2-sp.

R2: [shell on shell, ch1] 6 times, cl. Sl st in dc-sts and sl st in ch2-sp. Make a knot but don't cut it. Join other color in ch2-sp.

R3: [shell on shell, ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp, ch1] 6 times, cl.

R4: [shell on shell, (ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp)2 times, ch1] 6 times, cl.

R5: [shell on shell, (ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp)3 times, ch1] 6 times, cl.

Note that number of dc3 in ch1-sp goes on increasing in every round.

R6: [shell on shell, (ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp)4 times, ch1] 6 times, cl.

R7: [shell on shell, (ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp)5 times, ch1] 6 times, cl.

R10: [shell on shell, (ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp)8 times, ch1] 6 times, cl.

R11: [shell on shell, (ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp)9 times, ch1] 6 times, cl. Change color.

R12: [shell on shell, (ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp)10 times, ch1] 6 times, cl. Again change color.

R13: [shell on shell, (ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp)11 times, ch1] 6 times, cl

Or make it as per your requirment.

Make another piece with same dimensions only complete 4 sides out of 6. Last round of remaining two sides will be completed while joining these two hexagons.

                                                  

Then place these two pieces so that both are open on hand side. 

Now start joining back side first, start at corner dc3 in ch2-sp of corner, ch1, 

join by sc in ch2-sp at corner of other hexagonal piece.ch1 and then dc3 in ch1-sp of the hexagonal piece which is incomplete. Join by sl st with complete granny and make dc3 in ch1-sp of incomplete granny. 

Repeat this joining till corner of incomplete granny comes. Then complete last side os incomplete granny hexagon usually.

Then sew shoulders by joint single crochet till one 3dc group remains to join.

                              

Now we make collar.

R1: dc1 in each dc-st, dc2 in dc-row, dc1 at the joint of shoulder and lastly dc1 in ch1-sp.

R2: ch3 turn, dc1 in each st

R3: same as R2.

Now join yarn at middle st on back side of sweater. Now we are going to make sc-border along back side then one front, then button band, then collar, then button hole band, other front, remaining back side. So make
