I knit this little sweater using a heavily modified version of the Easy Baby Cardigan pattern. I put the opening on the shoulder to make a little snap open for baby's head, and then joined to knit in the round. Believe it or not, this sweater only took 1 skein of yarn!
I used Premier Yarns Serenity sock weight, self striping yarn, with ivory trim. The yarn is a wool, bamboo, nylon mix. I got the yarn at Joann's when I was back in the US over Golden Week. I started this project on the plane back to Tokyo, and finished about a week later. Progress was facilitated by Michael's long working hours!
I will be sending this beauty off to our friends Anhtuan and Anne, who are expecting their first baby together!
Teresa, this is too cute! Are you on Ravelry? I happen to love knitting too and spend way too much time on Ravelry. My username is aileenjo if you want to check out some of my projects.
