The big payoff to knitting for babies? Getting to see the sweet little things wearing what you’ve made. Here’s my friend Rebecca’s daughter, Olivia, in the sweater I made for her:

Oh, she’s precious. And what a sweet sweater. Those cheeks are something else!

She is so cutie pie muffin-a-licious! The sweater is perfect for such a happy girl!

She’s adorable – what a cutie patootie. She knows she looks good in that sweater, doesn’t she? And it looks like she’ll be able to get lots of wear out of it this fall.

I think I melted.
This also works with six year olds, by the way…and they’re old enough to run around the neighbourhood saying “my maman can make anyyyyyything, c’est cool ou quoi?”

What a cutie pie! That color is beautiful on her. From the looks of her smile, its obvious she appreciates the handknit! 😉

Kitting for babies is a great 🙂 And this is a perfect example of Cute Gorgeous Child!

Ubercute. And encouraging — I saw that sweater, and it was pretty small, but it looks roomy on the real live baby!

I don’t know what’s sweeter – the sweater and her in it, or the expression on her face that seems to scream – “Cari’s the best thing ever! Look what she made for me!!!!” EEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Posted by: john
Very cute! I LOVE the color!
Posted by: Shannon
My ovaries ache just looking at her.

That pictures makes the saying a picture is worth a 1000 words so true. What a cutey, and definitely a great pay-off.
Neat spider too by the way. I love creatures.

I really like how this little person looks in their bundle of purple. How cute! I’ll have to make one in a neutral color for my friend who’s baby will be here next year.

after you first posted this sweater, I quick made one for my friend’s first grandchild, who couldn’t wait until our yarn orders arrived to arrive himself. It’s really quick to make so I whipped it up with some craft store nylon and they just loved it–i made matching booties with the leftover bits, too. I hope it looks as cute on him as this one does on Olivia-haven’t seen him yet. BTW, apparently there were so many mistakes in the pattern in the book they posted the whole pattern revised online. So I got it for free! Thanks for the pointer. http://store.purlsoho.com/gr/book_corrections/pattern_childsplacketsweater.pdf

Olivia should be renamed Blueberry muffin. She’s as cute as one in the delicious sweater!

i love my auntie cari!!!!
Posted by: Olivia
Um, excuse me, but didn’t you just learn how to knit, like 6 weeks ago?
I am totally disgusted with myself. It’s not your fault, entirely. So don’t feel too badly.
But I’m still afraid of cuffs. Lordy.
Going off into my corner now to sulk. WHAT a beautiful child!

That is adorable! I want to knit for babies just so I can take pictures like that.
This is unrelated. I found your blog because, ever since I saw “The Dreamlife of Angels”, I have coveted the same sweater you want to recreate. Did you ever start that process? I will have to rent that movie again just so I can get a good pic (DVD) on my computer! Anyway, you have a lot of talent as a knitter!
