Mandala Ombre Baby Sweater

"The Mandala Ombre Baby Sweater is an easy crochet pattern that is worked in one piece using single crochet and chains. The sweater begins at the back hem and is worked to the front hem, chaining to create the sleeves and skipping stitches to create a neck opening. The sweater is "seamed" at the underarm and sides with a decorative joining technique that uses your crochet hook. This pattern is very beginner-friendly and if you can single crochet and chain you can make this sweater with the full video tutorial that is included on the blog post, which shows every step from the foundation chain to how to work the decorative "seam"."
