A Simple Baby Pullover

This document provides instructions for knitting a simple baby pullover sweater. It begins with casting on stitches and dividing them with markers to designate the front, back, and sleeves. Increases are made on every other row to shape the sweater body. Once the body reaches the desired size, the sleeve stitches are separated from the body and the body continues knitting until the desired length. Then ribbing is added and the sweater body is bound off. The sleeves are worked next by picking up stitches at the underarms. Once the sleeves reach the desired length, ribbing and binding off is done. Finally, buttons are sewn on.

A Simple Baby Pullover
by Erica Kempf Broughton

Materials: 1(2,2,3) Skeins of Cherub Aran by Cascade (worsted/aran, 240 yards per skein, 100% Acrylic)
1 set of US size 7-8 circular needles, 16 or 24 inch length
3 buttons (1/2 or 3/4 inch wide)

Sizes:
Approximate Age: 0-6 months (6-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-3 years)
Sweater Chest Measurements: 17.5 inches (19 inches, 21.5 inches, 23 inches)

Gauge: 20 sts = 4 inches in stockinette




You will be doing this by using the last 4 stitches of row 6 (that have not yet been knit) and the first 4 stitches on the
other end of the needles. K2tog, one stitch from each needle (this is very similar to a 3 needle bind off). Do this for each
of these 4 stitches. Your sweater is now joined in the round, with the button band marking the beginning of each
round.

Round 1: K
Round 2: (K to 2 sts before the stitch marker, kfb, k1, slip marker, kfb) repeat at each of the 4 stitch markers

Work Rounds 1 and 2 a total of 4 (6, 9, 11) times - 44(48, 54, 58) stitches between the stitch markers for the back

Separate Sleeve Stitches
K to first stitch marker, slip all stitches between the first and second stitch marker onto waste yarn (this will become the
right arm), K to third stitch marker, slip all stitches between the third and fourth stitch marker onto waste yarn (this will
become the left arm), knit to end of round. You should now be able to see how this looks like a tiny sweater.

Sweater Body
Knit every round until sweater measures 8(9.5, 11, 13) inches
Work 8 rounds in 2x2 ribbing
Bind off all stitches loosely

Going back for the sleeves
Slip all the stitches on waste yarn for one sleeve back onto your needle, picking up 2-4 stitches in the armpit to close
hole.
Join yarn and knit every round until sleeve measures 2 (2.5, 3, 3.5) inches from armpit.
Work 8 rounds in 2x2 ribbing
Bind off all stitches loosely
Repeat for second sleeve

Finishing
Weave in all ends, sew buttons onto buttonband opposite buttonholes.

Hurry and put it on the baby in question before they stop letting you dress them!
