Kids Ribbed Sweater Crochet Pattern

Crochet a kids’ sweater that looks knit

You want to make something they will actually wear.
This one has the chunky ribbed texture and relaxed fit of a shop sweater, worked entirely in crochet.

The body is a simple two-stitch repeat, so once the first row is in, your hands take over. If you can work a half double crochet and a slip stitch, you can make this fabric.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: 8 sizes, 0-6 months to 11-12 years. Chest (flat) 10¼ to 17¼ in / 26 to 44 cm

• Knit-look texture and stretchy ribbing at the neck, cuffs and hem, so the finished sweater looks store-bought
• Optional shoulder buttons let it go over a baby’s head without a struggle
• Linked video demos for the textured stitch, short rows and seaming, so the fiddly parts stay clear

            “I am beginner, but I did it.”

Materials

• Worsted (medium 4) weight yarn with good stitch definition
• 4 mm and 5 mm crochet hooks
• Stitch markers
• Tapestry needle
• Three buttons if you make the shoulder opening (13 mm for the 0-12 month sizes, 20 mm for all others)
