On Saturday, I attended a baby shower in honor of James’ cousin who is expecting a baby boy this fall. I love any excuse to knit, so took the opportunity to whip up this baby cardigan and these sweet booties for their present.

I mean, those buttons! I could not resist!

This baby bootie pattern is really fun – completely seamless and really quick once you get the hang of the pattern. I recommend it highly. I have Kaki’s FGM to thank for the recommendation.

Just one skein of yarn created this full ensemble, and I had enough left over to do a baby hat as well but did not have the time before the shower. I can always send that piece along before he’s born. But I recommend this yarn, as it is self-striping, super soft, and I got a sweater, shoes, and hat out of the deal. Boom!

I have many a friend expecting babies this year, so I imagine I’ll be doing a variation of this theme quite a bit.
