Thanks to all that helped!!

Hello ladies! I posted a question regarding a baby cardigan I was working on about 2 months ago. I finally finished it last weekend and It turned out perfect. (I took 2 months because I didn't wanna join the pieces.)

So, I'd like to thank everyone that helped me. Here's a photo of the finished product. Plus some mittens I whipped up from the excess yarn I had.

The sweater and mittens are darling, Ann. What pattern did you use for the sweater?

Those are beautiful, Ann! I love the accent color. I was going to ask the same question Janise did but I also want to know what you used for the mittens!

They are SO sweet, Ann!!

I will start on a baby romper OR sweater very soon! My niece has got a little son, and, of course, I have to make something for him!

Thanks. :)

For the cardigan, I used a pattern from freepatterns.com. here's the direct link to the pattern.

pattern called for a button at the top. But I replaced the buttonwith a self made chinese knot button instead. I did a long chain ofsingle crochet and followed the instructions from this site.

loop also consists of a chain of single crochet. As for the mittens, well, that was my own self creation. I shall type out the pattern here. Nothing fancy though. ;)

Mitten Pattern:

Row 1: I cast on 16 sts Row 2: stokinette st for 5 rows Row 7: k1p1 ribbing for 3 rows Row 10: stokinette st for 15 rows Row 25: k2tog twice at the beginning and the end of the same row Row 26: Stokinette st for 3 rows Row 29: inc 2 sts at the beginning and at the end of this row. (I did this by knitting at the front and the back of the loop on the first 2 and the last 2 stitches) Row 30: Stokinette st for 15 rows Row 45: k1p1 ribbing for 3 rows Row 48: Stokinette st for 5 rows BO all stitches. Fold mitten in half and seam up the sides.

Additional info: I did a single crochet around the mittens with the purple yarn to match the cardigan's ribbing. I also threaded elastic thread around the mittens ribbing twice to give it some grip. I suppose instead of doing the k1p1 ribbing, you could evenly space some eyelets to thread ribbons through by doing YO. The pattern is really simple and can be easily modified based on the recipient by increasing the number of cast ons and rows.

I'm thinking of embroidering some flowers on the mitten and cardigan as well. But We'll see how motivated I am. I'm 5 days away from my due date so I'm anxious for her arrival. Unfortunately, yesterday's trip to the doctor revealed that I am not dilated yet. Doctor says she's not ready to come out. -_-"

Thanks, Ann! I'll add them to my list of "somedays". Someday I'll try to remember everything that is on that list!
