These amazing baby sweaters were made for a little girl (however feel free to make a version for a boy as well!). These projects will make you approximately few hours (if you're more of a slow crocheter, like Michele DuNaier said she is).

Easy Crochet Boy Cardigan With Hood And Pockets
Kids and Babies
Since I made the easy crochet teddy bear girl cardigan, I've receives a lot of positive feedback. So, I decided to make a boy version of this cardigan, and to be honest I like it way more than the girl cardigan. This easy crochet boy cardigan is a bear themed hooded jacket that is worked continuously without any need for sewing. It can be easily adjusted by using thicker or lighter yarns. You can also adjust the theme by changing the ears to bunny ears or cat ears or any cute animal theme. ♥ Materials: DK yarn. Blue: 350-450 grams (4-5 skeins). White: 25-50 grams (1 skein). I used Alize happy baby yarn. Velvet yarn Blue: 100 grams (1 skein) I used Nako lily yarn. Crochet hook 7mm 4-5 Buttons Scissors Tapestry needle to weave in the ends and make the bear embroidery.

Aunt Norni's Shell Mini Afghan
Kids and Babies
A simple design makes crocheting this mini afghan quick and easy. No need for a border as it is crocheted right into the design. When completed there are shells all around. My mother-in-law used to crochet this pattern as full sized baby afghans. It was her go-to pattern on days when she couldn't follow directions. She always said she didn't have to think when making it. I re-designed it into a mini-afghan to include in my Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. A little something for comfort for a child in crisis.

Boy's Shawl-Collared Sweater Free Crochet Pattern
Kids and Babies
I'm definitely in the fall mood and love it when it starts to cool off - that's when I get really excited for the hooks and needles to come out. (Not that I ever put them away… but I'm not as motivated to work with yarn when it's hot. I wish I was!) One of my favorite items to design is sweaters. I love making sweaters. I know a lot of people hate them because of the finishing, but I even enjoy the finishing part. Granted, when I'm making an adult sweater I sometimes find myself griping about how long it takes, so I focus a lot on making baby and child sweaters. This one fits my youngest son and he graciously modeled it for me (even though it was almost 90 degrees that day!). I love it and can't wait for it to be cool enough for him to wear it to school.
