Crochet a beautiful set for an easy baby jacket and a teddy bear hat. Great for new crocheters who want to expand their skills. With the tutorials provided, I can show you how to do this.
Crochet this pattern for charity and also for the new family members in your life... introducing the newborn to 12-month sizes for a Crochet Easy Baby Jacket.
This is one of the simplest designs for baby jackets. The top (yoke) starts simply. Then, after a few rows, you fold it uniquely to make the top section. This is demonstrated in the tutorial. Then, you crochet the rest of the jacket. Once the main section is done, you go and crochet the sleeves. Add a front border to both sides of the opening to make it look finished. Then add 1 button at the top.
Try Another Easy Sweater
For myself, filming this didn't take long. This pattern with using the stitchwork, you could wip off several jackets for charity fairly quickly. The pattern is sized for newborn, 3 months and 6 - 12 months. The tutorial follows the newborn size but you can easily substitute the information that is shared in the tutorial by cross-referencing the pattern.
If you were to ever try a baby jacket, I would highly recommend this one as a starter.

Can this be made with Bernat Baby soft yarn as is? Thank you and looking forward to making this!!
Mikey says
Just do a gauge check with that yarn first and adjust your hook to match gauge.

Can you please break down the number of dc per row from row 2-8? Thank you.
Mikey says
Morning. I'm sorry, the designer didn't break that out when they wrote the design. I don't have that information readily available as it's not on the pattern as you have most likely noticed. You can email Yarnspirations at https://www.yarnspirations.com/ca-en/contactus Their design team has made this pattern and customer service may already have this information in their notes. Best wishes.
Rekha says
Thank you.

I have crocheted for 15 years and never felt comfortable enough to actually make a baby jacket!! This video is AMAZING and I have now made TWO of these sweaters one the 3 month size and one the newborn. This was the best video I have ever seen!! I wish you guys did one for the matching hat!! Thank you so much for all your help!

I made the easy baby jacket in newborn and love it! The directions and tutorial were great . I haven’t crocheted in thirty years but am now hooked. I wanted to make the 12 month size easy baby jacket and do it in two colors like a color block. I want to use college colors of the parents. With that in mind do you think there is a natural place to change color in the directions? Also would I be able to add a second button to the jacket and have it hang correctly. I m not sure if I will change color on the front placard of the jacket or just pick one color to crochet. I’d appreciate any of your thoughts and expertise. Thank you.
Mikey says
Do the colour changing as you proceed from the top Yoke to the body.

Where is the pattern? I watched the YouTube tutorial. Clicked the link underneath the video to the pattern. I was brought here where there is a link back to the video. It's a loop. Is there a PDF pattern? The one shown in the video? How can I find it to print? Thanks!
Marina King says
I added the blue pattern button for you, to make it easier to find, hope this helps
Susan says
Where is it? I only see links for trick or treat bags and baby booties. There's no blue pattern button.
Mikey says
Our website is currently down at the moment. - Michael
Colin Woods says
Sorry I must be daft, I've clicked all the possible links and cant find the pattern
Mikey says
There is a BLUE button that states PATTERN.
It's above the subtitle that states TUTORIAL. It's center screen. That is the button that will redirect you to Yarnspirations where the pattern is. Also, the words of the name of the project in the Easy Baby Crochet Jacket is also the same link.
Please enjoy.

Kim says
Do you have the printed instructions for use when the internet is unavailable to watch the video?
tammy says
has this pattern been reviewed and updated? there are some stich count errors for example... with the first row, there are only 6 stitches before the first V counting the ch and 7 after the last V. I also noticed comments on the pattern website others have stich count trouble as well.
