Free Crochet Pattern for Baby

This lovely free crochet pattern for baby is one of my favorite crocheted baby sweaters.   I just love the oversized bow, but you can give it a more tailored look by using a frog closure, or a large button if you wish.   This adorable Baby's Matinee Coat pattern is from an antique knitting and crocheting booklet called Beehive Booklet no. 9   The sweater and matching baby hat would make a wonderful handmade gift for a baby shower or gift basket. The texture of this little baby sweater is called the Crazy Pattern.  It works up quickly, and gives a nice firm finished fabric that will create a warm sweater for baby.  Here are written instructions for how to make a crazy pattern stitch.  A close up example is shown below.
