Baby Sweater from Vintage Pattern

I finally finished the baby sweater for Jona, (Bob’s cousin Tom Beatty’s daughter).

I used a vintage pattern.

Knitted baby sweater for new granddaughter…

Knitted baby sweater for new granddaughter…

Becca is having a baby girl.  I asked her to pick out a knitted sweater pattern that I could knit for her new baby.  She chose an off-white classic sweater with wooden buttons.  It turned out really adorable!

I used a free pattern from the website Ravelry.

Becca wanted the “boy version”, with the straight edge.  For the hat I used a plain hat pattern and changed it to match the sweater with the border on the bottom and the cabling (like the sweater) evenly distributed around the hat.

The yarn I used was Tanis Purple Label Cashmere Sock and I loved it…so soft!

I used the color “natural” and I ordered it from eatsleepknit@eatsleepknit.com (both the sweater and hat was made from one skein of yarn-making the 3-6 month size). 

Wooden buttons were ordered from Etsy’s buttonsbraidsandmore (25 Pcs – 1 Lot, Coffee 4 Holes Round Wood Sewing Buttons 11mm(3/8″) Dia).

Adorable baby gift…cardigan and bonnet by Sirdar

January 27, 2014 by shelley

I decided to make a cardigan and sweater for a baby gift to Ellen Riley’s first granddaughter.  (Karen’s baby Emerson…Karen is my daughter Jennifer’s good friend and has been ever since they were tiny children.)  I found the pattern to knit  this beautiful cardigan and bonnet by Sirdar (It can be found on the  internet at Patternfish…sorry…this one I cannot share for free.) But I will say it does work up very quickly.  It took a bit of a learning curve for me since this was the first time I worked with English abbreviations (as in Great Britain- English) not American knitting abbreviations.  But thank goodness for the internet.
