Baby Scallop Sweater Knitting Pattern

Make Something That Feels Like a Hug

You want to make something for a new baby that actually looks special. Not just cute in the photo — but something that still looks that way when you finish it.

This sweater has a scalloped hem on the body and cuffs, tiny bow ties at the wrists, and a relaxed silhouette with generous ease. It photographs beautifully. It will also be genuinely loved.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: 7 sizes from 0-3m through 3-4y. Chest circumference approximately 56 (60, 64, 64, 66, 70, 72) cm / 22 (23.6, 25.2, 25.2, 25.9, 27.5, 28.3) inches blocked.

• Worked top-down in the round with short-row shoulder shaping, so you can try it on as you go and avoid guessing on fit
• Scalloped edges on both the body hem and sleeve cuffs, finished with applied i-cord bow ties for detail that holds up in photos and in person
• 7 sizes from newborn to 3-4 years means you can make it now and come back to it again as the babies in your life grow
