Double Crochet Square Yoke Baby Sweater with Ribbons

[Marumin]

It's been a while since I posted anything in the forum, and thought it was time to share one of my baby sweater patterns with you...

Hope you like it!

 

 

DC SQUARE YOKE WITH RIBBONS

 

I used aproximately 60 grs. of Sport or Light weight baby yarn

 

3.75 mm hook (US Size F/5)

 

STITCHES USED

ch - chain

sc – single crochet

hdc – half doublé crochet

dc – doublé crochet

PF – Puff Stitch

 

The puff stitch for this sweater requires only 5 loops. Here’s how I make it:

1. Wrap the yarn over the hook, sk 1 st (or 2 as indicated) insert the hook in next stitch. YO the hook and draw through. There will be 3 loops on the hook.

2. Wrap the yarn over the hook, insert the hook in same stitch as before. YO the hook and draw through. There will be 5 loops on the hook.

3. YO and pull through all 5 loops.

I do not make a chain to secure at the end of the stitch unless otherwise indicated.
