At my recent 10 year high school reunion I had a friend make a special knitting request. She wants an “old man” style sweater for her baby boy due in September.
So I introduce to you Stashbustin’ #25: Baby Sophisticate by Linden Down!

How cute is this? I think I am going to make the 3-6 mo size as this family tends to make big babies! Mom also requested that this be a soft and easy care garment. So I culled my stash and found just enough Carron Simply Soft in grey. It’s machine washable and pretty soft for acrylic. Probably not my first choice of yarn for a sweater, but this isn’t my project, lol!
The yardage is going to be tight but I think I can make it. I hope to get this started this week. I am going to swatch in the same yarn but a different color since I’m close on yarn.
Now I just need to go find some old man looking buttons….

I LOVED making this sweater! Easy, but not boring. The pattern was pretty true to size, so going up a size should be perfect for a big guy or gal. Can’t wait to see your finished sweater!
It looks great!
how cute! I can’t wait to see when it’s done!
I would love to be able to knot sweaters, this is so neat. My repertoire consists of dishcloths, scarfs and …I did make a dog sweater once! Looking forward to your finished project!
Oh my goodness that is just too adorable!! I LOVE it!!!! 🙂
I vote either wood buttons or those funny woven leather ones. They totally say “old man” to me. That is going to be one stylish baby!!!
An gorgeous too. My friends already have a 4 year old that is so adorable it makes my uterus hurt!!
