Pattern Details
- This adorable Little Alba crochet baby hoodie, cardigan, jacket or coat was designed with comfort in mind. The hooded sweater is nice and roomy making it perfect to fit over babies clothes. To make this 3-6m crochet baby cardigan coat I used DK weight yarn by James C Brett (110g/ 349yd/ 319m in main color and 38g/ 120yd/ 110m in second color) but you can use any yarn with similar weight like 8ply or #3 yarn.
- This pattern is written in US English terms. It is NOT available in other languages.
- 🔺Please Note:
- SIZES:
- All my patterns are written in a basic format for one main size (as listed in the description). This is the only format offered. You can make the item smaller or larger by simply changing the yarn weight and hook size and using the same pattern instructions. This is the only guidance I provide for resizing. With this technique, this cardigan can be made from newborn size and up to 5-7 years. This technique works well because standard size differences between ages increase gradually—typically about 1 inch (2.5 cm) for smaller sizes and more for larger sizes. By adjusting your hook size, you can achieve a proportional difference throughout the garment. Keep in mind that individual tension varies, which may affect the final size. Gauge is provided for the main size only. If you’re using a different yarn or hook size, I recommend checking your gauge to help ensure the finished size turns out as expected.
- Step by Step video tutorial is available on my YouTube channel. Link or video name is at the top of the written pattern. To access the step-by-step video tutorial, simply type, click, or copy and paste that name in the search field on YouTube. It is highly recommended that you refer to this tutorial to help answer any questions you may have as it goes hand in hand with the written instructions.

I haven't tackled this yet. But I did receive it and plan on crocheting when in Florida!
I made this in one color instead of two and it turned out really pretty.
This is an Easy pattern to follow
This is such a pretty little sweater -- and the pattern is written really well. Works up easily, and the sizes are simply changed by using a larger hook or heavier grade yarn. So nice!
