Double Breasted Baby Cardigan

I purchased this pattern from the website "Patternfish" designed by: Susan Mills. The pattern sample was done in Liberty Wool by Classic Elite Yarns. But I used a wool/acrylic blend yarn and it knitted up very nicely. The cuff edges, neck, bottom edge and center front button panels are knit in seed stitch and the rest in stockinette stitch, which by the way; I love stockinette stitch! As for the buttons, I searched through my button box and found 10 buttons that worked together, same size, same family of colors, and even though they were not identical, it stilled worked out, it gives the sweater kind of a rugged, outdoors look. I can see this little sweater worn with brown corduroy pants, and maybe a brown & white checked shirt. The pattern is pretty simple, and uses a worsted weight yarn. Make sure you click on photo to enlarge and look at the sweater up close.
