Baby Hoodie Cardigan

I love to crochet baby things and sharing beautiful and modern crochet pattern. My hobby is crocheting items and create easy pattern that are ideal for beginners and my other followers. You will find here the collections of my favorite go-to crochet patterns from baby crochet pattern to adult, crochet sweaters, hooded jacket, baby hat, booties sandals, cardigan and gloves/mittens.

Today I share the baby hooded jacket/cardigan. It’s the infant baby design I made with small pocket on the front. Its lovely texture and dark coffee color I am used in it. This is the best choice for little boy. I am used light Dk weight yarn 50% cotton and 50% acrylic. In This sweater I added half double crochet, front Post and Back post stitches. These simple stitches mix in one and make a new idea to share you.

This boy hooded is very simple and thick for the clod season. I finished this sweater in a week, it gets no more time to crochet, and the baby hooded jack is perfect item for both boys and girls and for special toddlers, I made and share you a lot of baby items for the winter season, I am crocheting always for new born to toddlers in different design and beautiful colors.

All my design is written in US Terms/Format. This is so easy to understanding the pattern, I also made some of the videos for your information, I told about how to sew the pocket and making my hoodie ribbing, because the video instruction also making very easy the pattern.

If you have any problem to understanding the pattern, you also share in my website join me in my face book page .I will help as soon as possible.
