After monster knit I needed something portable and quick. Baby knits are good for that. I whipped up this little cardigan in a few days using the shawl leftovers.
My friend is due in late September. They’re not finding out the sex of the baby ahead of time. Super surprise. If it’s a girl I think she’ll still dress her in gray and blue because she’s cool like that.
I started the cardigan according to Henry’s Sweater, but after splitting the yoke for the sleeves I just kind of went my own way with it. Gave it 3/4 length cuffless sleeves, a garter stitch hem, and a garter stitch shawl collar. The collar looks good up or down.
I crocheted a little button loop for a collar button and then the rest hangs open.
that sweater is beautiful! I love the simplicity of the design.
Thanks Julie
you’ve been making some pretty cute baby-wear yourself
It’s adorable!
very cute!! maybe i should commission a few of these? i have too many friends having babies.
sure, I have plenty of skein-remainders for it
I think if your cousins see this they’ll want one for their
baby and babies.
It’s so pretty and I think you can go boy or girl. Who said girls didn’t like blue?
I know, right? Kids toys and clothing is so annoyingly gendered. My friend had a girl and said he quickly tired of the piles of pink clothing
