This was a fun and quick project that had some interesting details and techniques. As you can see, it is a simple hooded baby cardigan or jacket. What is different is that it was knit in two pieces--each starting with the sleeve cuff and working towards the center. Then the two sides were grafted together using kitchener stitch (thanks to Greg for reading the directions out loud to me while I did the stitch!).
The pattern is "Babies and Bears" by Carol Anderson and Kristi Williams, and the yarn is my new favorite Juniper Farms "Sabine," a worsted weight wool and cotton blend. I used the silver buttons to give it a bit of a Nordic flair.
