It’s been months in the making, but at long last the pattern has been written, tested by wonderful crocheters, and the Sven Sweater is ready for sale!
It’s been an exciting journey – one that began when I had my own little boys and realized just how many crochet baby sweaters were only for girls. This sweater is definitely for boys. And for girls! It’s all in the colors. The pattern was inspired by a blanket I saw at a Swedish furnishings store over the summer – it was bold and graphic and had a great look. One that begged to be translated to crochet!
Figuring out how to put it all together was a learning process for me, and inspired me to make the Tapestry Crochet Video, to explain one of the techniques used in the sweater. It’s this technique that has led me to label it as Intermediate difficulty, but I do think that a determined beginner could do a great job with it as well.
Because it is unique, detailed, and well tested, I’ve decided to make this my first paid pattern, for just $3.99. I hope you’ll agree that it’s worth it. It’s sized 0 – 6 months, and is the perfect crochet pattern to make for any baby boy or girl. The Sven Sweater pattern is in PDF format, and available on Craftsy and as a Ravelry download. And you can purchase the Sven Sweater – right here at moogly! Just click buy now!
Thanks so much for all your support and excitement about my past patterns – and don’t worry, the free patterns will continue! But I hope to add more special, paid patterns in the future too. And I want to give a special thanks to all my testers, as well as those who volunteered – I couldn’t have done it without you!

is very beautiful, I love it!
Thank you so much!
Awesome! I felt the same way about crochet sweaters and boys. I tried to imagine them in boy colors, but they still look girls because of the stitching. Hoping to do this in December/January as my “final weeks of pregnancy” project.
Thanks Jennifer! I hope you enjoy the pattern – and congratulations!
Lovely ! The colors and the pattern !
Thanks for the visit.
Have a nice evening.

I saw you post this on Facebook and it really caught my eye – the color choices are perfect and so beautiful! Might just have to make this for our little baby boy due in a few months!
Thanks Sarah!
Very cute. I love the little hood, and I do think that those colours would suit girls as well as boys. But I did put my daughter in a babygro covered with cars.
Yes, these colors are pretty neutral, aren’t they? But of course I expect people will use all sorts of colors when they make their own – and I can’t wait to see them!
Wow this is just gorgeous. I want one for myself! Are you planning on making it available in larger sizes? I don’t know any little ones that little, but I do know some slightly older kidlets that would look lovely in a Sven Sweater!
Hi George! I do plan to expand the size range somewhat, though probably not to adults. What sizes are you looking for?
I know and eighteen-month-old and a three-year-old I’d love to make sweaters for, thought I’m tempted just to make one anyone and see if I can find a home for it after!
Thanks George! It helps me to know what people are looking for, so I have some goals to work towards.
I too am hoping you will develop the size range. I have a 3 y/o grand-daughter who is wearing a size 6x right now. She would sure look adorable in this sweater!
I do plan to, as soon as things slow down a bit here at home.
I would love to buy the pattern but could you email me .. I would have to make it bigger my son is size 4t to 5 t he is 4 years old .. What would I need to do .. Or do you have other pattern and where would I find them thank you very much
Hi Kym! That’s a lot of upsizing, and while it’s do-able I don’t currently have the numbers for that. I don’t have any patterns in that size currently available, but I can see there’s a lot of demand and I’m working on upsizing the patterns one size a time!
