This darling little sweater is for the newest family member that is expected any day now.  My nephew and his wife are expecting their first and it’s supposed to be a little girl!  I knit the A-Line Cardigan pattern  from the book “Design It, Knit It; Babies” by Debbie Bliss.

 There is a similar Debbie Bliss pattern in a Vogue Knitting Magazine, I believe.

I could look through Debbie Bliss books for hours.  Her designs are classic.   I love how the brown edging on the collar updates a classic to give it a modern feel.

The complete project details are on my Ravelry page.  I liked how the collar was knit.  I don’t have enough experience to knit a collar without exact instructions.  The sweater was knit in pieces and there was quite a bit of sewing up and weaving in ends.  I really could have used my Sweater Wizard software to knit this top down and finishing would have been a lot easier.  Do any of you have Sweater Wizard?  I love it!
