Hello friend! I bring my new and simple crochet baby boy sweater, pant/knickers with suspenders. This tutorial design made special with new idea for little ones. Lovely and nice adorable baby sweater with pants made for only 6-12 months boy or girls. The design made to the same video and shared my new and special idea for those who want to learn and follow my ideas for her babies and children, I always welcome for new crocheter and followers’ hope you must like and appreciated me in my blog.

This simple sweater and pants with suspenders made in 2 main colors, aquamarine and half white DK double knitting yarn 4 ply, used same color for the cuffs and neck line and both cuffs bands. This is small size made only for 6- 12 months baby boys and girls; it can be easy to add in many other sizes, like smaller and larger sizes.

Instructions:  this adorable crocheted baby boy sweater starting with bottom to top, used double crochet stitch for this sweater, in the sleeves always changing colors after completing two rounds, after made whole work the desirer size of the sweater made the cuffs in both of the sleeves then made the neck band and bottom, used for single crochet stitch 4 rounds in each. Started the pant with legs section (working up towards the waist) after made two legs then join, and make the top part.

 For your kind  information you note about the endings; if you are using the two colors so, don’t cut the yarn at the end drop one color and pick up the 2^nd color for the next round, I think this is a perfect idea for changing colors, if you cannot hide the 1^st color so follow as you want.
