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!
Close up of the puff-sleeve. I was pretty proud of it.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.
