I took the time to take a few pictures of the sweater before giving it to M.
I had 2 colors, a golden yellow, and a white in a worsted weight. I knit the sweater top down, and played with the colors in the yoke.
After the yoke, I kept a simple garter stitch edge along the fronts of the sweater, and picked these amazing buttons. Picking the buttons was really hard, the yellows were all wrong, and so were the whites, then I saw these, and fell in love. They look a little like morning dew...
I really love how easy this sweater was to knit and of course the classic, retro feel appeals to me. I guess this is another pattern for me to write. I have a feeling this is going to become our family pattern for all new babies. Kind of a nice tradition don't you think?

omg - that is just too adorable!! awesome job!
My grandson was a premie and it was so difficult to find things to fit him. I now do some premie knitting for the hospital where he spent the first several weeks of his life. I applaud you.
I really like that sweater; the colors are unusual for baby wear and that adds to the appeal I think. And the buttons are perfect!! Congratulations to your friends.
I'm amazed how you pop those lovely designs and hand knits out. It looks and sounds so easy. It would not be for me. It's lovely, and I hope M likes it. :o)
Super cute! First time I visit yoru blog! You knit beautifully!
The sweater is adorably handsome for the new little one. I especially love the yoke.
