As I was finishing this baby cardigan today on my lunch break, the mother of the intended was packing for the hospital and loading the baby seat into the car. I made this entirely out of yarn left over from another project. Grandma is a co-worker of mine and this is for her first grandbaby. Took me less than a week of lunch breaks and evening to make. My only gripe is that I do not like the bulky appearance of set-in sleeves. I prefer a raglan sleeve that is knit in one piece from the top down like the Tulips Cardigan (see earlier post). Think I will incorporate both patterns next time I do this and will be happier with the end result.
