fo: easy baby cardigan
We're back in the city after a relaxing long weekend in the north woods of Wisconsin. Swimming, boating, and plenty of reading and knitting -- just the prescription for what has been a rather hectic summer so far.
--------------------------------------------------------- The latest in the parade of baby knits! I have been stockpiling baby knits for months, but am just now sewing on buttons and the like.

pattern: easy baby cardigan, by joelle hoverson source: more last-minute knitted gifts yarn: patons classic wool merino, denim marl, 1 skein needles: clover US 7 bamboo circs size: 6-9 months my ravelry project page
notes:
My gauge was a little off, but I was happy with the fabric, so I followed the measurements for the next size smaller.
Not my favorite pattern -- the increases on the neck are awkward and result in puckering. It really is easy, though. The yarn is also not anything to write home about, but it had been marinating in my stash for years, and I was very happy to use it! Still two more skeins left, however.
The buttons are basic navy blue plastic ones from JoAnn (yes, I used them for the bitty cabled cardigan, too). As usual, I delved into my embroidery floss stash to sew them on.
