Here is Samantha, the baby sweater dress I finished knitting in October. We've had a rocky relationship because seaming is not difficult, but hemming is a pain in the backside. I sewed on the last button just as our friend, the baby's father, was coming through the door. It's now on its way to baby Lilly.
Front of sweater:
Back of sweater:
Closeup of front with adorable flower buttons (the middle of each button is green). They were picked out with the help of several knittyheads when we took the big trip to WEBS last year.
Pattern: Samantha by Kate Gilbert (the old version, she has revised the pattern since)
Yarn: Aurora 4 in color 16, about 3.5 skeins
Size: A bit larger than the 12 month size
Needles: I don't quite remember, but I think they were US #4. I did go down a needle size for the hems on the sleeves but forgot to for the hems on the bottom.
The curling and unevenness is due to the fact that I hurried when I was taking pictures and didn't have time to lay everything out completely flat. The seams don't actually flare. I'm very happy with the outcome, and Lilly's dad liked it too.

That is just beautiful, Batty! What a lucky baby!
What a sweet pattern. She will look adorable wearing it.
The Lace Blanket is amazing, it must have taken some serious patience.
Aw, that's really pretty and the buttons really set it off. She's going to look adorable in it.
Oh My! That is so so beautiful, I'm glad that her Dad liked it too.
Just lovely. What a lucky little gal.
Very very cute.
Sorry you guessed wrong-i won't be buying any colinette yarn in zimbabwe...unless is cheaper than here in the uk.
Ooh pretty! I love the picot hem. And the flower buttons are precious!
Oh, that came out so adorable! I bet the baby will look wonderful in it.
It's the Sweetest! The only thing cuter is the little one that's going to be wearing it :)
I'm not sure if you can make stuffed animals knitting, but you should see what my mum made! A crochet bunny! Here's the link- http://glimpsesintangible.blogspot.com/2007/01/crochet-bunny-project.html
She made botties too, but they're on a different page...
That is SO cute!!!
Thank you! I'm very happy with the way this turned out. And I learned how to sew a reinforcing band onto my button band! The stitches look awful, but it's sturdy.
The Red Scarf Project scarf is next, I need to get it done by tomorrow. Then... DH's sweater and my first FI!
Very beautiful indeed!
