Since I don't know any babies, it really didn't mater what size I knit. And since the 'done before dinner' mind set is always, at least one of my criteria, I chose the smallest size - the one year size.

For Baby
How cute is this?
We are between generations in my family. Some of us have finished with our baby-producing years and the others haven't got there yet. Which partly explains why I don't often knit for babies. But when I saw this great little top down pattern, I couldn't resist.

On the weekend, I passed the 'great divide', that is the point in the knit where the sleeves and body are separated, and finished the body. With simple rolled hems, this is an easy knit. The yarn is Magic Garden, Buttons, a Mom-pleasing washable wool, knit at a DK gauge. Two small sleeves to knit and I am ready for a baby shower!

Great sweater! I like "Cabin Fever" patterns. The "Baby J" is from that commpany and I love that pattern also.
Very cute! I'm looking for some new baby patterns for Austin liking this one a lot.
I have that exact pattern and used that exact yarn (although in red) for a friend years ago! It's timeless...
