For a 1-year-old sweater, the number varies depending on needles and yarn, but as a general knitting standard, using size 3.5–4 needles and medium-weight baby yarn, you typically cast on 60–70 stitches for the front and back pieces. For the sleeves, around 35–40 stitches. The stitch count is really determined by your yarn's weight-to-meter ratio and the needle size you're using, so the most accurate way is to knit a swatch (10x10 cm) with your chosen yarn and measure it yourself.
