There was a long time when there were no babies for me to knit for, now there's more and more. I suppose my children are at that age when they and their friends are starting their families.
One of Eleanor's university friends has recently had a little girl so I pulled out my trusty knitting pattern, the Baby Aosta Cardigan by The Knit Purl Girl. This knits up so quickly, takes a little over 50g of DK yarn, and makes a lovely gift when added to a pack of pretty sleepsuits.
It's knit in one piece so there's no sewing up to do, it suits a girl or a boy and the Andalusian stitch just adds a little interest to an easy knit. I'm always pleased with the results. Here I've used Sirdar Snuggly DK in the Rosebud colourway, I prefer a dusky pink rather than a true baby pink and this fits the bill.
Baby Isla was born at the end of July and Eleanor's friend was very pleased with the gift.
