Crochet Baby Petal Sweater Tutorial

This super adorable baby sweater comes in 4 sizes. Pattern includes 6, 9, 12 & 18 months instructions. I have found the instructions super easy to follow without any difficulties.

I think the hardest thing about this sweater is deciding the colours for this.

The yarn is Anne Geddes by Red Heart Yarns. The colour in the sample thumbnail is Lily (white) and Rocking Horse for the main body.

• Unique Design: The flower petal motif creates a stunning, textured look that’s both timeless and trendy.
• Versatile: You can make it lightweight for spring and summer or thicker for the colder months by adjusting the yarn type.
• Customizable: This cardigan is easily customizable with different colors, yarns, and petal sizes to suit your personal style.
• Perfect for Layering: The cardigan’s open design makes it perfect for layering over dresses, tops, or even turtlenecks.

You will see in the pattern that the colours are vibrant and really incredible. In the video tutorial, I used Anne Geddes as well, colours are Lily for the collar and trim work and Robin for the main body.

In the video tutorial, I demonstrate the 6 month version but give help on all other sizes to be able to follow the instructions.

Once you see how we are growing the baby sweater, venturing on your own for the 9, 12 and 18 month sizes are a breeze.

Creative Ideas for Customizing Your Flower Petal Cardigan

• Bold Color Choices: Make your cardigan stand out by using bold, contrasting colors for the flower motifs and the body.
• Textured Yarn: For extra texture, use yarns with a slight fuzz or metallic shimmer. This will add depth and dimension to the flower petals.
• Ombre Effect: Create an ombre effect by using yarns that gradually shift from light to dark. This adds visual interest and creates a flowy, gradient look.

Lightweight yarn like cotton or bamboo is ideal for a flowy, breathable cardigan. Wool blends work well for a cozier, winter version.

You can adjust the size by adding or subtracting motifs, changing the number of rows in the body, or adding waist shaping for a more fitted look.

Tips for Crocheting the Perfect Flower Petal Cardigan

• Use a Lightweight Yarn: A lightweight yarn like cotton or bamboo gives the cardigan a flowy, delicate appearance while allowing the petal motifs to stand out.
• Check Your Gauge: Be sure to check your gauge before starting to ensure the cardigan fits properly. A loose gauge can make the cardigan too big, while a tight gauge may make it stiff.
• Take Your Time with Assembly: When joining the flower motifs, take your time to align them properly and ensure they are evenly spaced for a professional finish.
