Instructions:  We made this crochet baby cardigan jacket for 12-24 months. We adding only one color in this sweater, you also add more colors in your own choice. We used DK weight yarn and 3mm crochet hook for this cardigan jacket. Size of the length we mention in the below description. This sleeveless baby Cardigan is crocheted form the neck line down, if you want to make a sleeves so repeat the round or use a simple double crochet stitch, it’s very easy to start used a simple double crochet and v-stitch.
