A friend is having a baby, due at the end of the month! I already made the baby girl a blanket but I wanted to make something for her to wear, too, so I decided to try the in threes baby cardigan (it costs money but it is easy and works up quickly).
I have a lifeline inserted before the arm holes were formed just in case I mess up and have to rip back. The Dark Horse Yarns’ Fantasy yarn is a ridiculously soft worsted yarn — I wish I had enough to make me a sweater out of it too! Might have to order some…
The color was hard to capture, it looks more accurate here:
I’m using the technique for a neater edge along the button band, as you can see there, as well.
I kind of want to make some little crocheted pastel flowers to sew onto the front. I might do that if I have time but I do want this to be complete by the baby’s arrival!
That’s all for today, thanks for stopping by! See you soon!
I love the cardigan!! I wish I could find a similar crochet pattern!

I bet one could be improvised with a little trial and error — it’s worked seamless from the top down with increases from the neck through the shoulders.

Aw, the baby cardigan is looking so sweet! And the yarn looks so soft even in the pictures. I hope that you have time to add some little crocheted flowers. I think it will be so adorable!
