Basic Baby Cardigan

When I received this beautiful yarn in the mail, it was love at first sight. I don't normally choose blue, but I am currently so drawn to this dusky gray/blue shade. 

What makes this skein of Snow-Capped Yarns Olde Salt Knight yarn extra special is that it is inspired by the colors of and also hand-dyed in coastal Alaska. I am headed there this summer for a knitting retreat, and I dreamed of my upcoming trip to Cordova while knitting with this yarn.

I made up this simple baby cardigan as a sample for my upcoming sweater finishing workshop that I will be teaching this summer. It was so quick to knit and a great project to practice seaming techniques.

I thought I'd post the pattern for free for anyone who is interested in making one for the little one in their life.

It can be made for a baby boy or baby girl and is just the perfect easy knit for a last minute gift.

Embellish it with pockets, appliques, or colorwork for an original look, or keep it clean and classic just the way it is.
