Crochet Baby Boy Sweater Pattern, Bentley Sweater
When I designed my first crochet baby sweater for girls, the Evelyn sweater, a lot of people commented that they wished I had designed one for boys. So here it is, my very first crochet baby boy sweater pattern!
Pin it for later:
The Designing Process
I wanted to combine different textures for this sweater. I was so skeptical of the diamond stitch when I made a gauge swatch. I thought it would be too much for a tiny baby sweater but once I made my first sample, I fell in love with it.
The crunch stitch used on this sweater is a modification of the regular crunch stitch that will make your work grow quicker and give it more texture. I replaced the half double crochet with double crochet stitches and avoided working into the slip stitches which can be a pain to stick your hook into.
If you have been following my designs, you must have already noticed that I love quick projects. To make this sweater work up fast, I have kept the back of the sweater plain and simple. You might also enjoy my girl’s free baby cardigan crochet pattern.
The back is worked in herringbone half double crochet stitches which look really neat compared to a regular half double crochet. The stitches seem to slant and stack closely together.
The sweater has been worked sideways to give the effect of that vertical line to this sweater. Adding the shawl collar just added a little more pizzazz to an already cute design, if I may say so myself, lol!

I just emailed it to you.
Do you have any videos of your modified crunch stitch?
I plan to post one on my facebook page soon. Please follow my Fb for updates.
I would love this in women’s adult sizes!
I’m slowly working on this sweater as I am not an experienced crocheter yet and I don’t want to overwhelm myself since the pattern is the hardest I’ve tried. I do want to say it’s totally worth buying the pattern, as what I’ve completed so far is coming out really good. I’m loving the challenge. Thank you so much for this gorgeous pattern!
I am so glad to hear that. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the pattern.
Any chance of where I could find this or something similar in men’s sizes? I would LOVE to crochet this for my 19!year old son who was in major motorcycle accident. He LOVES this sweater and wants me to make him one. Thank you for your time 🙂
Hi Cassandra, I am sorry to hear about your son’s accident and hope that he recovers quickly. I will be coming up with bigger sizes by next Fall. I will have a lot of testing before I can publish it.
Thank you so very much 🙂
looking forward to this!!!
I’m sooo happy to hear this. I can’t wait!! 🙂
Do you have larger sizes yet? I’d love this for my 5- and 7-year olds!
I am sorry, I am not finding the time to test them in bigger sizes. Bigger sizes would need more armhole shaping.
Is this a qritten pattern or just a chart?
This is a written pattern.
