What you need to know

Crochet a cute jumper with appliqué gonk motif for children aged 18 – 24 months, designed for Cygnet Yarns.

Crochet a classic jumper for babies ages 18 to 24 months in this festive garment project from Cygnet Yarns. The jumper is worked from the neck down using simple half treble stitches. The yarn is then rejoined to the armholes to work the sleeves. Use raised front and back post trebles to create the look of rib around the neckline, cuffs and lower hem. The motif is worked separately in double crochet and stitched on, meaning it could easily be adapted for a larger sized garment or to decorate a bag or cushion.
