Baby & children's sweater "Kai" (Raglan, size: 0 m.-5 y.)

This PDF crochet pattern consists of illustrated tutorial for crocheting a baby or children's jumper for sizes 0 m. to 5 year old with the hood and the two-colors shoulder yoke. The middle part of the jumper is crocheted with the spiral pattern. This jumper is an RVO jumper (raglan) and has no side seams. A great garment for comfortable wearing!

This jumper can be crocheted for both winter and summer, depending on the wool! For summer, I recommend using cotton, for example Lana Grossa Elastico or similar wool.

For the 8th round of the spiral pattern (the most difficult part of the pattern) I have created a video with the explanation. The video is not publicly accessible and can be viewed using the link. With the video and the crochet pattern, crocheting the spiral pattern is much quicker and easier. This video was uploaded here at crazypatterns.net as an additional file.

Attention! The sweater is crocheted partially (shoulder yoke and cuffs) with the sl st. Crocheting with the sl st, inserted either in the back loops only or in the front loops only of the previous row, requires a little practice. Before you start crocheting, practice crocheting with an old thick wool (wool scraps). After a few practices, crochet with sl st will work out very quickly. Otherwise, crochet very loosely, take the crochet hook 0.5 to 1 size larger than recommended for your wool.
