We are allllmost done publishing the various child sizes of the It’s Shawl Good cardigan! All of the CHILD sizes are available individually, for free, right here on Heart Hook Home!

It's Shawl Good 6 8 10

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!

It's Shawl Good sizes 6, 8, 10 childrens

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.

    Dear Ashley, I bought a rainbow colored yarn last week and this pattern is lovely to work with. Thank you so much. I followed the video and pattern exactly I mean all chain numbers and stiches are the same count. The gauge was true. I didn't increase or decrease additionaly but both in front of the shawl and back tail is larger than the picture. Like I increase too much. For example in the pictures the front of the shawl comes straight from top to bottom but for my shawl it is like 2 wings come top of each other, like wrapping. Also at the back there is a tail. Do you have any idea? Thank you

    Hi i am just wanting to clarify after row 21 the two row sequence is rows 21 & 22 repeated until i reach row 34? I am on row 23 (21 repeated) and am coming up short, 2 sts remain unworked before i do the ** ch1, tc in nxt **. If i proceed my ** to ** part is not at the 3hdc in centre of previous row. I have double checked my st count for every row and i am on point for all rows. Any insight on how to proceed will be greatly appreciated. I am doing size 6/8/10 pattern. Tyvm

    Hi. Thank you for the pattern. This is the first written pattern I have ever followed and I found it very simple and instructions were great. I have just one question please. What length should this size be when finished? I am on row 34 but mine is a lot shorter than the one in the pictures. Thank you x

      Hi Ria! Mine was approximately 24 inches in length at the point. You can simply keep adding rows if you need to make it longer.

    My granddaughter wants me to make this shawl for her (size 6-8) in the colors shown in the picture. What is the exact name of the yarn: Lion brand cupcake (what color). My granddaughter is very fussy and I want to get it right! Thank you.

    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.

        Same here. Pattern is fine until this row. I have tried everything. Added stitches took away just messes up the other rows.

    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

          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 think the count of 20 in row 17 should be 24. I'm having the same problem. Also, in row 16, I think there is a missing instruction to ch1 in the repeated instruction for working hdc's in the armhole (i.e. it should say ch1, skip 1 and loosely hdc instead of just skip 1 and loosely hdc); I read on here that there is a video, so I'm going to see if she has a different count or does something differently in the video, otherwise, I'll probably just keep going with the pattern so that it looks right without worrying too much about the counts.
