Baby It's Cold Outside sweater

[DesertCrocheter]

Here's my second Baby, It's Cold Outside sweater for my friend E, who's due with a baby boy on Aug. 30. This was done in Homespun Montana Sky with a light color as trim (I think it's Deco). I love this pattern; it's so pretty and yet so easy, even a novice like me can whip one up in just a few nights!

The Baby It's Cold Outside sweater pattern is one of the fabulous free patterns you can find at crochetme.com (I think it was in the Feb/March issue?). It really is a fast and easy pattern, easy to read, and I only consider myself an advanced beginner, so if I can do it... I'm not particularly fast because I enjoy crocheting, it's not a race for me like my friend who thinks she's a good knitter because she's fast. But I made this in about 4 hours, off and on over 3 nights. Of course, I had to frog the placket twice because I accidentally increased while crocheting the contrast, and I still wound up with a few extra stitches (I just sctog'd them; a crochet expert could tell but my pregnant friend won't notice, I don't think).

 

I made one of these a few months ago, too, in a variegated color in the 6 month size (this is the 12 month size in case he's a bigger baby than everyone expects, and with a daddy well over 6 ft tall, that could happen). Here's the link to that one (I posted it then): http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a383/DesertCrocheter/gifts/babyjacketforE.jpg

 

I love the variegated but it wound up being purply on one side of the front and browny/greeny on the other side, although the back looks great.

Nice job!

I like the design of this pattern, so simple and yet effective.

I am trying one right now, worked in "point granité" (I don't know how it's called in English, the chart is R0 = ooo / R1 = X°X / R2 = °X°... http://www.passion-crochet.com/points3.html ) for my 3 yars old daughter, the problem is I underestimated the amount of yarn I needed, so I'll have to get imaginative to finish it... I'll post a picture when it's ready... hopefully with it's owner posing
