It’s Shawl Good CHILD Size (2/3t)

If you’ve got the adult version of this pattern, and you have a mini me, you simply MUST make a matching set. How adorable for family photos etc! Here’s a short video of me modeling my latest adult size. All sizes are linked below, if you would like the printable file including ALL children’s sizes, you can find that on Ravelry here. Thank you!

The CHILD sizes for the It’s Shawl Good pattern are as follows:

Size 12 – 18 Month
Size 2/3T (this one)
Size 4/6
Size 6/8/10
Size 12/14/16

These cardigans are intended to span multiple sizes. Add or remove length as desired; the armhole openings should fit all children within each respective size range. Find the adult size of this pattern here.

Materials:

Crochet hook in size J/6mm
Size 3/lightweight/DK yarn (about 320 yards)
*Thin cotton suggested, such as Sugarwheel cotton cakes, Caron cotton cakes, or Bernat Baby Cotton.

Note! Lightweight acrylic CAN be used – like Lion Brand Cupcake (pictured here), or other lightweight “cake” yarns but the drape may not be as nice as the “weightier” lightweight/size 3 yarns listed above.

A HUGE Thank you to Susan for testing this size and thank you to her lovely little model! ♥ She’s just precious!

Gauge:

After row 6 the width of the piece should be about 7’’ and the height (from row 1 to the center stitch of row 6) should be about 4’’. See photo after row 6.

Pattern notes:

• Pattern written using US terms.
• Use a stitch marker to mark the center most stitch of each row.
• On the hdc rows, go around the ch-sp from the previous row instead of into the ch – it’s faster!
• Place first st of each row in same as turning. (the beginning chain does not count as a stitch)
• When counting stitches, make sure you count each triple crochet AND each chain stitch.
• Add a hook & eye closure, a button closure, a tie closure, or no closure at all.
• I have highlighted the parts that require more attention using RED.

  1. Hi I had to go down from J hook to H hook to get right gauge size. Now I’m coming up with 42 stitches on row 6 instead of 43. Does this change number of stitches in a row? I’m so flustered and frustrated I’m about to pull my hair out. Your video I followed along with too! Where am I messing up? I had correct number of stitches (37) on the row before. Ackkk. Help me. Please. Cathy in Iowa.
  2. in row 10 i keep getting 31 hdcs on the first side i frogged it and redid and still same noth sure where I'm wrong
  3. Could this be done using a double crochet instead of a triple so that the holes aren’t as big? It would be more rows for sure.
    1. Hi Kathleen! If you would like to do it in DC instead you can certainly try it out...my only concern would be the fit and placement of armholes since the rows will be shorter, so I would suggest going up a pattern size. Hope this helps!
  4. After looking over a handful of the blog posts on your blog, I truly like your technique of writing a blog. I saved it to my bookmark site list and will be checking back soon. Take a look at my website as well and let me know your opinion.
