For a 1-year-old baby sweater, the typical starting stitch count varies with yarn and needle thickness, but with medium-weight baby yarn (for example, knitted with 3.5-4 size needles) and a simple pattern, approximately 60-70 stitches is standard.

General reference: You can determine the exact stitch count by measuring your tension — counting stitches over 10 cm of your yarn. For example, if 10 cm = 22 stitches, then for 28 cm width, approximately 62 stitches would be appropriate.

The best practice is to check the stitch recommendation on your yarn label and verify with your baby's measurements.
