Hi, I'm trying to make this gorgeous sweater for my 1 year old daughter. Can u tell me roughly how many rows made the chest size required?
I don't know where to measure the sweater to get the chest measurements (1st attempt at something like this?)

I use this pattern all the time! Ever since the first I time I found it in late 2009, I've easily made 10-15 of these babies in a million different colors! And then today I was thinking "AHHH, I NEED A QUICK, BUT ADORABLE PATTERN!" and lo and behold, this pattern came to mind!

Or, if anyone knows how many to chain for the start or the collar to accommodate a large two year old.

Thanks :)

Hi, I was wondering if you knew how to adapt the pattern to fit a large two year old.

I love this pattern, and have made a bunch of little sweaters (that have been donated all over). Thank you so much for contributing this pattern :)

2011-05-11T21:03:23.585-04:00

I am making this for my son and am totally in love with the look! But he is almost 3 and as I'm making this it's looking too small at the neck. Should I increase the first 38ch? But then how many dc across would I do as it would be different 6, 4, 12, 4, 6. Haha I hope I'm making sense? Thanks

2011-03-10T15:41:42.667-05:00

Hi, Can you clarify Row 6. I'm having trouble with it and have tried to do that row several times.

Does it mean to DC all the way until you get to the end of that row THEN do DC, CH1, DC ? OR am I supposed to DC, CH1, DC in the first stitch on that row and then just do DC all the way across?

Please someone help!

Row 6: * Work DC until Ch1 space, work (DC, Ch1, DC) in this space, repeat from * 3 more times, DC to end, Ch3, turn.

Repeat Row 6 until desired chest measurement. My shirts had a chest circumference of about 23 inches.

For those wanting to make a toddler size, this is what I did. Take care to follow exact instructions because it is very complex:

use a bulky yarn and a size 6 hook. ;)

i followed the pattern exactly and it fits my little girl a little snug, she wears a 3T. I left it a little snug because I think as she wears it, it will loosen up some. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for making this pattern? I am a very beginner and I made this one and your bombay love sweater and LOVE them! :)

2010-10-05T13:49:15.225-04:00

love the pattern you have created. i was sent here to look at them from my sister who is now pregnant & wants me to make all sorts of things for her which i will gladly do!
just a suggestion in writing the pattern- if you could actually tell us how many rows you did to get the length/circumferance for things, that would be very helpful. also another symbol for dc-dec is dctog which literally means dc-together.
and for those who were getting confused with the 'ch3 counts as the first stich in each row', every time you ch3, its counting as a dc for that row. so if you were to ch3 then have 9 dc's after that, then the row should have 10 stiches. make sure if you are supposed to have that many that you are not putting a dc in the stich you just made the ch3 off of or it will bubble out the edges. the patterns will most likely tell you to put it in the joining stich or not, but if it doesnt then yuo shouldnt. hope that made sense & didnt confuse anyone more. =)

2010-09-24T21:33:36.102-04:00

I LOVE this little sweater and want to make it for my goddaughter. I've never made a sweater before, but was chugging along grandly until I got to the "chest circumference" bit after row 6. I know this sounds dumb, but does this mean go until the sweater is the right width (in this case, 18 inches)? Isn't this counting the shoulders as well? Help!

Thanks so much for the pattern!

2010-09-22T11:46:17.809-04:00

Hey Rima, I'm not a sophisticated crocheter at all -- I found your pattern and wanted to make something for a friend who's jumped on the procreation train -- I'm making it in a light yellow and am going to add a dark brown trim, hope it turns out as nice looking as yours! You have the cutest daughter, and I really like all the things you've made -- I'm going into a little yarn frenzy myself these days, and wanted an idea -- I have a 3.5oz skein of the softest teal-coloured yarn, and want an idea of what to make with it :)

Thanks for the lovely blog -- neha

Rima--
You have created a monster in me with your sweater pattern!! :) I just finished up another one for a friend with a tiny newborn!

Thanks so much for sharing your pattern! I've got a photo of the newest sweater online so you can see my latest take on it.

I love this pattern, it is absolutely wonderful! I am fairly new with reading patterns and I am stuck on row 6. When it says to go into the next 4 ch stitches and then it says 1rst sleeve. I only have 1 ch between the 2 double crochets. Please clarify for me on this row.

2010-04-24T16:33:34.550-04:00

does anyone know how big the sleeves are comparatively? I am trying to adapt this for a replica of a jacket and was wondering if the sleeves are the larger open sleeves or if they are more closely fitted.

please respond if you do know, so i can adapt the pattern if need be. thanks!

also, in response to the other comments, i'm sure that it may have already been answered, but:

when it says "Count this Ch3 as the first st in the next row and in every other row", i think it means, "skip the first stitch, as it will make your edges seem wonky if you ch3 and still dc into the first stitch". I already did that to row 8 or so, and i had to frog it all the way back to row 1.

and for row 6, it basically means, everytime you get to that first (DC, Ch1, DC), you repeat it in the space that was created.

I finally made this sweater and had a friend help me with the part with the sleeves. The part with the dc dec. I made it brown with bear buttons. I also made bear hat with ears to go with the sweater.

2009-11-02T12:55:12.228-05:00

This might be a really dumb question, but I really want to make this sweater and am unsure of one thing in this pattern. In row one, when you say "Ch3, turn. Count this Ch3 as the first st in the next row and in every other row" do you literally mean every other row (2, 4, 6 etc.) or EACH row? I hope you understand my question. Then is the last stitch in each row made in the last actual dc or the third chain of turning?

I have finished the first sweater, but instead of ...

2009-10-14T22:20:15.118-04:00

I have finished the first sweater, but instead of going round and round the sleeve I crocheted back and forth so that the sleeve matched the body. Going round and round produces a different pattern. I am also doing another and have increased the number of stitches to make a larger sweater. It seems to be working out. I have never adjusted a pattern before for a different size.
