It's called Autumn Leaves but I think it's more of a spring and summer cardigan with it having short sleeves. I knit the 6-12 months and I love the colour, I think it'll be perfect for the summer months when the baby will have grown into it.
It gets its name from the leaf pattern around the yoke.
Instead of ribbing, seed stitch is used along the edges. I think it's a lovely finish.
Eleanor's friend has been thrilled with the things I've made her so far. It makes it all worthwhile when your knitting is so appreciated.
It's just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased how it's turned out.
DeleteOh what an adorable little cardi, very neat and so pretty, I agree the edging makes it very different. Alot of thought and kindness goes into making hand made items so no wonder she loves your things xcx
ReplyDeleteIt's a very feminine little garment. So many babies don't wear hand knitted clothing these days so it's lovely that Eleanor's friend is so appreciative of the things I've made.
DeleteHow beautiful and such a sunny colour! I love the leaf pattern around the yoke. And it's my favourite way of knitting, top down, seamless. Best, Jane x
ReplyDeleteI always look for seamless garments these days, I absolutely loathe sewing up.
DeleteIt is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a lovely pattern.
DeleteSimply adorable.

I'm sure Eleanor's friend will be pleased with it.
DeleteWhat a beautiful thing you have done for Eleanor's friend.
ReplyDeleteI love knitting baby garments so it's been a pleasure.
DeleteIt's beautiful. X
ReplyDeleteIt's such an easy pattern and makes such a pretty little cardigan.
DeleteI just skipped heartbeat OMG I LOVE that Baby gift! Must share with my Allison knitter girl
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely pattern and knitted up so quickly being knit in DK weight yarn.
DeleteJo!!! That is an absolutely PERFECT little cardigan for a baby. Just lovely and I bet mom will LOVE it long past the wearable (sizewise) stage. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteIt's so quick and easy to knit up a baby gift, which is good as babies grow so quickly and are soon out of the little cardigans made for them.
DeleteIt is so pretty and spring like. I am sure your daughters friend will love it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's perfect for spring and summer having short sleeves. I'm sure it will be very well received.
DeleteIt's a really lovely cardigan and a perfect colour for sunny days. I remember knitting a blanket for the pram with a similar leaf pattern, gosh that's really jogged my memory from many years ago :)
ReplyDeleteThe leaf pattern is so effective, yet such a simple pattern to follow. I'm really pleased I went with yellow, and such a sunny yellow too, perfect for spring and summer.
DeleteIt is a beautiful gift and such a lovely pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt's turned out exactly as I'd hoped, always a bonus when you're making something for someone else.
DeleteA gorgeous little cardi! Love hand knitted baby clothes - as you say, quite a rarity. The colour is lovely - would look lovely over a nice little cotton summer dress.
ReplyDeleteI think it's perfect for summer, as you say, just the thing to pop over a little cotton dress. I do wish we saw more babies in hand knits.
DeleteJust beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd you were so wise, to knit it, in a larger size. They can always grow into something. But once bigger, it is of no use. Well, until another baby comes along.
:-)
I knit a couple of things in the first size before the baby was born which she's still wearing but this one should last her the summer.
DeleteThis is so pretty, what a lucky little lass.

I'm really enjoying knitting some baby sized garments, they knit up so quickly and are so cute.
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased with it, especially the colour, it will be perfect for summer.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous knit and colour...I can't knit to save my life so am quite envious of your skill. Babies look lovely in beautiful hand knitted things.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I love to see babies in hand knits but, sadly, you don't see many these days.
DeleteIt's a pretty pattern and so easy too, it looks more complicated than it is, and no sewing up at the end either.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty pattern with the leaf design on the yoke. The shade of yellow is lovely. Really beautiful, Jo.
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased with it, it's the perfect little baby cardigan for summer.
DeleteI love it! What a gorgeous colour and such a pretty pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Eleanor's friend will like it, it's so pretty.
DeleteIt's beautiful so summery and cheerful in that colour Eleanor's friend will love it. :) xx
ReplyDeleteI'm really happy with the colour choice, I think it suits the pattern perfectly.
DeleteHow adorable! You are so talented, Jo. P.x
ReplyDeleteIt's a very easy pattern, it looks more complicated than it is.
DeleteIt's beautiful Jo & I'm sure it will be much appreciated. I used to love baby knitting, but don't know anyone with little ones anymore. Take care & have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy knitting for babies but this is the only one I know so I'm making the most of knitting for her.
DeleteOh, that's gorgeous, I could see our baby in this!xxx
ReplyDeleteThe smallest size in the pattern is 6-12 months but I suppose it could be scaled down to fit a newborn.
DeleteIt’s gorgeous. That is such a happy color and you did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteI'm really pleased with it. I think it knits up beautifully.
DeleteA lot of younger mummies are loving hand knits, this new one is going to WOW Eleanors friend, such a lovely pattern.
ReplyDeleteHand knits seemed to go right out of fashion, I'm glad they're coming back again. I hope Eleanor's friend likes this, it was a pleasure to knit.
DeleteThis is so lovely Jo, the colour is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I'm really pleased with the colour, it will be lovely and bright for summer days.
