A sweet baby cardi

Well, finishing up The Middle Child's sweater was just the motivation I needed to pull this one from the to-do pile and finish 'er up!

I had started this as my "first sweater" but lost interest as it has no recipient in mind as of yet...the person I was certain would have a girl found out she is preggers with a boy! Regardless, I am happy to hold on to this until the right wee girl comes along.

I used the Little Coffee Bean Cardigan free pattern on Ravelry by Elizabeth Smith in size 3 months. I love the sweet stripes and the short sleeves will look hip over a long sleeved onesie ;) I made one modification to the raglan increases, using a kfb instead of a yo to avoid the eyelets. I used Cascade 220 Superwash yarns.

The buttons are from my local quilt shop, and I opted to secure them with a splash of lemon yellow thread.

My youngest declared that she wants one in her size, so she could match her two precious "kitties." :)
