Wrap around cardie

This wrap around cardie was for a colleague's baby. It is knitted in Oxford Kitchen Yarns' DK yarn in 'clotted cream' - an organic handmade / hand dyed yarn I bought from the Stitch n Bitch show. Again this is knitted from Natural Knits for Babies and Mums by Louisa Harding. As I didn't know whether the baby would be a girl or a boy I did the classic garter stitch edges and kept the buttons back until the baby was born. I chose these gorgeous Peter Rabbit buttons when I little Tom arrived.

I found this really quick to knit up and although my picking up of stitches on the diagonal fronts weren't great - I was quite pleased.

Hopefully I'll get a picture of baby Tom wearing his cardie soon.....
