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).
