Faux-Colorwork Moss Stitch Baby Sweater
This henley sweater is perfect for a baby 3-9 months. The moss stitch allows for an illusion of colorwork and striping that is much easier than Fair Isle or tapestry crochet and creates a stretchier, cozier fabric. The Henley neckline allows the sweater to hug baby’s neck for warmth while allowing the sweater to fit over baby’s head easily. The pattern includes photos and diagrams to help you along the way. This sweater is created in one piece with no seaming and works up quickly for a great baby shower gift! Pair it with the matching hat for a cute and cozy outfit.
