Crochet baby jackets are a classic of this type of fabric and are a super necessary garment for those who are expecting a little one at home and the truth is that baby jackets are always necessary and whether you can knit it with two needles, yes you feel more comfortable or crochet as we will do today.

CROCHET BABY JACKETS MATERIALS AND FIRST STEPS To make these little jackets, the first thing you have to do is get the materials, when we knit for a baby the main thing is to have the ideal materials for their delicate skin, that is why it is always recommended to buy a special wool, wool factories regularly make a special one for babies, which has to be hypoallergenic and made of natural materials so that it does not irritate the skin.

For these crochet baby jackets we are going to need 300 grams of baby wool in the color that you like best, a number 2 hook or the one indicated by the material you bought. One meter of ribbon half a centimeter thick. A couple of half-inch buttons.

We are going to knit this jacket in 4 parts: the back, 2 front parts and the sleeves. To start at the back, we are going to start knitting around the neck, for this we knit 9 cm of chain stitches, then we are going to knit a double crochet in each chain stitch. Then knit an increase on each side until you reach 8 cm.

This part is the armhole, then for the rest of the jacket, we are going to knit the following pattern. Knit two double crochets then a chain stitch two chain stitches, leave two free stitches to then repeat this motif, finish the round like this and in the next one you must knit this motif in the chain stitch. Up to 16 cm.

CROCHET BABY JACKETS PART TWO The front part is knitted the same as the back part. But everything in half, so we start with 5 cm of chain stitches then a double crochet in each stitch. Continue knitting as in the spade, but only make one increase on the right side and when you knit the other side only make the increase on the right side.

To knit each sleeve, it is only necessary to knit a couple of squares, each one 16 cm long by 11 cm wide, knitting an 11 cm chain and then knit a double crochet in each stitch until you reach 16 cm. When you have everything ready, you just need to join each part with slip points. Place the buttons in the part with the double crochets and the ribbon in the part with the motifs.
