Basketweave Baby Cardigan FO!
Happy New Year!
The last FO of 2007, became the first handknit sweater for my newphew in 2008. I used 2.25 skeins of Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece yarn on 3.5 mm Addi Turbo's, at 6 sts x 9 rows per inch, in a simple baskeweave cardigan. I roughly followed the formula to Barbara Walker's Knitting from the Top Seamless Set-in Sleeve, Simultaneous Method. This has become my favorite sweater pattern formula. All in all, it was both a challenge and pleasure to knit. Too bad they don't stay small enough for very long. Maybe sis will have another, and we can hand it down to the next little one.
