This is a sweet little cardigan for a babies in their first year. It is made of Sirdar Baby Bamboo - a supersoft yarn 80% sourced from bamboo viscose and 20% wool, very snuggly and a bit shiny. It's a soft green color that is not gender specific. The sweater is my variation on Elizabeth Zimmerman's classic February baby sweater. It has a lace pattern for the body and sleeves, and the yoke is stockinette knit with raised ridges. This buttons down the front with four antique pearl shell buttons. It is designed to be an easy fit with lots of room in the body. Measurements: about 6.5" across shoulders; 7.5" across at underarms; 4" sleeve length from armhole; 9" total length from center back.

Welcome to Knitting Grandma!
​
I have been knitting for at least 7 decades, and yes it's true: I have a grandson who really called me Knitting Grandma! I love to knit for babies and children, and most enjoy making up my own patterns, so my garments are one of a kind.
If "hand knit sweater" makes you think of itchy wool, things have changed! I will admit to being a yarn snob. Life is too short to use cheap yarn! In the past decades there's been lots of development of innovative fibers and blends, like bamboo-sourced yarn. I favor natural fibers; my favorites are alpaca, merino wool, silk, and their blends. I will always try to tell you the yarn used for each garment.
​
A word about sizes: all babies are different and believe it or not, sweater size charts charts are all different too. I have included measurements for my garments to end confusion. But you don't have to chase a wiggling toddler with your tape measure: just find a garment that fits with some growth room and measure that.
All these pieces are washable: wash with other garments and dry flat.
If you have an idea for something special, please contact me!
