It’s Shawl Good CHILD Size (6/8/10)
I swear my friends with daughters must just love me. LOL! Always asking for models, but then they get to keep the finished product, so I suppose that’s a win-win! My lovely model here typically wears a size 8 in children’s clothing. This cardigan has plenty of room for her to grow into it. If she wanted, we could add a cute button to the front for her to keep it closed. It is just adorable either way!
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
Size 4/6
Size 6/8/10 (this one)
Size 12/14/16
Find the ADULT size of this pattern here.
Materials:
Crochet hook in size J/6mm
Size 3/lightweight/DK yarn (about 550 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.
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.
