Chameleon Sweater/Tee- children’s version
This is a pattern for a crochet sweater or t-shirt in sizes 0-3m up to 10 years. It is worked top-down, so the body and sleeve length are completely adjustable. Make it cropped, make it long, it’s up to you! The pattern is a simple 3 row repeat that doesn’t include any advanced stitches- just sc, dc and chains.

You can play around a lot with colours with this pattern, which is why I called it the chameleon sweater! You can make the whole length with stripes, only put stripes on the yoke, or invent your own pattern of contrast colour bands. This garment will look amazing with variegated or long print yarn.

Suggested hook size: 4mm

Yarn weight: dk/light worsted/yarn weight 3.

Estimated Total yardage (will vary slightly according to yarn used):

this will be split roughly 50/50 between colours if you make a two-tone version. If you make with a contrast yoke, you will use roughly 20-30% of the yardage on the yoke, and the rest on the body.
