Crochet Sweater for 7 to 8 Years Kid

 

Hi friends,

How are you all? must be busy in making sweaters etc for your lovely kids, me too. Here I made Full sleeves sweater for my grandson. It's very very simple even beginners can make it. I made it in three colors and amazing combination itself looks so cute that no need to have any special stitch. I made it in a top-down way. Three colors I used are Brown color (A), Biscuit color (B) and Cream color (C).

The pattern is....

Make chs till it's length is 17". I have to make 80 chs.

Make a ring of chs 80 (Be careful that chains should not get twisted).

NECK BAND: With color A make, R1: ch2, dc1 in each st, cl (80) [ch2, not considered as first dc].

R2: ch2, (fpdc 1, bpdc1) repeat till end, cl.

R3: ch2, (fpdc on fpdc, bpdc on bpdc) repeat till end, cl

R4, R5, R6, R7: same as R3. Lastly BO. 

Now we divide these 80 sts in 5 parts as follows.

80 = 10 sts for half back part + marker in next +18 sts for sleeve+ marker in next+20 front sts, marker in next st + 18 sts for sleeves+ marker in next+ 10 sts for half back part.

Join color B on other side (other than where we ended the last round of neckline). Combination of colors you may change as per your choice.

R1: dc1 in 10 sts, V(dc1, ch1, dc1) at marker's st, dc18, V in next, dc 20, V in next, dc10, cl. (84 dcs and four ch1-sp)

R2: dc1 on each dc-st, new V in each ch1-sp of V, cl. (92 sts, four ch1-sps)

Here in each round 8 sts increases due to 4 new Vs.

Change color after each pair of rounds.

After R3: 100 sts, 4ch1-sp, after R4: 108 sts, 4ch1-sp, It's 4". Repeat till it's height from top is 6".

Repeat R3 and R4 with biscuit color. After R5: 116 sts, 4 ch1-sps, after R6: 124 sts, 4ch1-sp, 

then same two rounds with Brown color and then with Biscuit color again.

After R7: 132 sts, 4 ch1-spaces, R8: 140 sts, 4 ch1-sps

After R9: 148 sts, 4 ch1-sps, R10: 156 sts, 4 ch1-sps. It's height is 6".

After 10 rounds, number of sts in each part will be,

20 one half back part+38 sleeves st+ 40 front+38 other sleeve+ 20 other half part of back=156 sts

Then we skip all sleeve stitches and join front, back and work them.

R1: [dc1 in each st till ch1-sp, dc2 in ch1-sp, ch5 as under arm sts, skip sleeves sts, dc2 in next ch1-sp] rep 2 times, dc 1 in remaining sts, cl.

R2: [dc1 in each st, dc7 in ch5-st] 2 times, dc 1 in remaining sts, cl.

Change color after 2 rounds, keep design as it is.

R3: dc1 in each dc-sts, cl

Repeat R3 till the length from top is 15.5".

BORDER: Join brown yarn at any st.

R1: ch3, (fpdc1, bpdc1) rep till end, cl.

R2: ch3, [fpdc on fpdc, bpdc on bpdc] rep till end, cl

Repeat R2 till R6. BO. Now the length is 17.5"

Sleeve: Maintain the color combination.

R1: [dc1 in each dc-st, dc2 in dc-space, dc1 in between 2dcs at underarm dcs] rep, cl.

R2: dc1 in each st, cl.

Total sts 50-51. Then we decrease 2 sts after every 2 rounds, 

R3: ch3, 2dctog, dc1 in each st till last 2 sts remain, lastly 2dctog, cl.

              

Repeat this till the sts are 35 or 36.

Number of strips in sleeves will be same as number of strips in main body so that the length of sleeves is equal to the length of sweater. Lastly also make border.

Similarly make other sleeve. The simple but beautiful sweater is here.
