The lure of an adult-sized BICO is calling. So I will swatch over the next couple of days and consider yarn.

I am being lured in by this beautiful baby sweater now that I have a little granddaughter. I know this is an old thread but I'd love to join in and try this cute sweater.

Hi Darski, its okay I don't expect you to see every post. Sharon was kind enough to post it for me so I printed it out. I know I had it but couldn't find it. Thank you for answering me.

P.S. I sold one I had to a friend of mine and she wanted to know if I could make one for her and I told her I wasn't good at figuring out how to enlarge it to her size and I see a lot of people want it in bigger sizes. Have you ever done it in an adult size?

[darski]

The basic way of making it larger is to work to the size you want it to be with your natural gauge. if you have done one of these you can find your gauge.

 

Then find the size you need from the standard size chart. You will want to add 2 inches of ease to the size as printed. *that would be 1 inch of ease on each side

 

Let's say that you get 4 sts to the inch and you need to get 10.5 inches plus your 2 inches. 12.5 X 4 = 50 sts. Since I never use a ch 2 in place of a hdc, I would ch 51 and work hdc in 2nd ch from hook and each across.

 

To be honest I am more likely to just chain a chain as long as I want and just eyeball all the parts like length and sleeve additions. <<my bad >>

[Michaels Gram]

Darski thank you for explaning how to change the size, I really appreciate it and will try it. What's the worse that can happen, I'll have to frog it, it won't be the first time LOL!

Okay, I'm officially in. I bought my yarn last night. I purchased two skeins of Caron Simply Soft in the hot pink. They call it watermelon -- not sure why. I'm going to use two strands together with a J hook. I'm doing the 6 month size pattern. I'll be back when I run into any questions...

[RecycleCindy]

Well I have my BICO sweater done. It turned out smaller than I wanted but should still fit my granddaughter who is one month old. It's about a 3 month size according to the baby size chart.

 

 

I crocheted this using 2 strands of Caron Simply Soft Watermelon and trim is Bernat Baby Boucle fancy free. It looks red in the photo but really is more of a hot pink in real life. I added a hat to match the sweater to complete the outfit.

Okay... here we go........ I'm gettin' there.

I have this much done so far. I need to sew it up.. edge it and buttons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[darski]

Very nice Tam... I love that blue. What plans do you have for the buttons and trim. I love how everyone makes them so unique with one pattern :dreaming

[teakaycee]

Thanks darski!!

You know.. I'm not totally sure what I'm going to edge it in. I thought about using a different shade of blue.. I thought of a nice tan color... and thought of just going with the blue its made of.

buttons will just be simple round buttons. I think LOL

Tam,

 

Your sweater looks great. I love that shade of blue. What yarn did you use and sweater size was yours? As I wrote above, my sweater turned out smaller than I wanted so I will be making another bigger sweater soon.

Thanks Cindy!!! I used a shade of blue from Caron Simply Soft. I'm not sure of the exact color due to the label being gone as the yarn came from my Aunt that loves to share her stash with me.

I used an I hook ... so it seems to be a great newborn almost premie size.

I need to get to work on finishing it today.... my son took his wife to the hospital a couple hours ago with possible contractions.............. I could have grandbaby #7 born today!!!

Tam and Cindy love those baby sweaters. I may have to make a couple of these to have on hand with matching hats. You never know when you might need a set :-)
