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.

Hi Ashlea, I want to thank you for sharing this awesome pattern in so many sizes! I've been working along your video tutorial as well as the printed instructions for child size 6/8/10. I just completed row 34 and have the correct number of stitches. It seems a little short to me and I'm considering adding a few more rows. I was wondering if you could share the measurements of this shawl at row 34 for this size? Thanks a bunch!

I’m stuck on row 15 I’ve done the 8 Tc and then ch16 then ch1, Tc 3 times and then 8 Tc again and the ch16 and 8 again but before I do the 3 Tc at the end I end up having 3 sts left.. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and I’ve watched the video 3 times already I’m doing the 6/8/10 size

  I have a similar problem, but instead of ending up with extra stitches remaining, I end up with too few stitches in the row. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I only count 111 instead of 115 stitches.

For some reason I'm coming up short on row 17 and can't figure it out. I have the right amount on row 16 but where you 3 tc in a row isn't in the center it's off on row 17. What am I doing wrong?

  Hi Kelly! If you haven't watched the companion video for this, I highly suggest it. If after watching, you are still having trouble then feel free to message me on the Heart Hook Home facebook page or through email, and we can get it figured out The video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqESpU5Nxb4

    You could have told her in fewer words how to fix it instead of making her watch a 1 and a half hour video.

      The video is very informative and could show her where her mistake was. YOU didn't have to be so rude to someone who took the time to make the companion video to help out in the first place. Shameful

  I'm having the same problem with row 17. I've tried following the pattern and the video and for some reason I still can't make it work. Did you get it figured out? What am I missing?
