I made this cardigan ages ago. My friend was having a baby and I convinced myself that this sweater was going to be too small for a new baby. So it sat without buttons for over a year. Cut to me just having a baby and I realized how silly I was. Babies are small…duh!
My now two month old is just fitting into this sweater. I made it using a cotton mix so it is perfect for the now cooler temps we are experiencing in the morning. If you follow me on IG (@knitsbywhitsf) I was in a bit of a button pickle. I just couldn’t decide on which buttons to use. The giraffe ones are so cute, but as a follower pointed out they can be a pain to actually use. Considering babies are super squirmy I decided on being 50% practical (hehe).
I swear I have become hooked on making baby items. They are just so quick to make. Good old instant satisfaction! I think making baby sweaters is going to replace my previous love of hat making.
Until Next Time,
So glad you went with the 2-2 split. Such a cute sweater!!!
Thank you! If they get to be spin I figure I can just cut them off and put on two more round ones.
So cute! And congratulations! Babies are so much fun to knit for. My youngest is warm all the time and will only let me make him things in cotton, so enjoy your little one being too young to have an opinion. 🙂
I fear for that day! Hopefully she will be a cotton and wool lover ❤️
Such a lovely cardigan and I like the 2 and 2 button option.
Thank you!
This is lovely – knitting baby clothes is the best!
That it is!
I totally agree, currently making a very fancy lace/cable hooded poncho for Christmas for granddaughter but it’s not easy nor quick! Lol
Sounds lovely! Looking forward to reading about it.
