Kid’s Velvet Sweater Crochet Pattern

The Kid’s Velvet Sweater Crochet Pattern is the softest, coziest sweater I have ever made! (There is an adult version HERE) This pattern comes in sizes 5 – 12 and is perfect for the little one in your life! Trust me, they will love having this snuggly sweater in their closet. This is a really easy sweater to make. It’s all single crochet with a little bit of shaping around the neck. Because it’s a bulky yarn, it works up pretty quickly.
