This PDF crochet tutorial consists of illustrated tutorial for crocheting a baby or children's jumper for size 0 m. to 5-year-old child with the hood and the two-colors pattern. The middle part of the jumper is crocheted with the spiral pattern. This jumper is raglan jumper and has no side seams. A great garment for comfortable wear!

This jumper can be crocheted for winter or summer, depending on the wool! For summer I recommend using cotton, for example Lana Grossa Elastico or similar wool.

For the spiral pattern I have created a video explaining the first rounds and a crochet diagram. The video is not publicly available and can be watched with the link. With the video and the crochet diagram, crocheting the spiral pattern is much quicker and easier.

Attention! This jumper is crocheted partially with the sl st. Crocheting with the sl st, inserted either in the back loops only or in the front loops only of the previous row, requires a little practice. Before you start crocheting, practice crocheting with an old thick wool (wool scraps). After a few practices, crochet with sl st will work out very quickly. Otherwise, crochet very loosely, take the crochet hook 0.5 to 1 size larger than recommended for your wool.
