I finished this little cardigan and delivered it to my sister two weekends ago. We didn't try it on Hannah just then but my sister was confident it would fit (and thought it would look especially cute with a little pair of jeans). I have to confess, the yolk and body of this sweater seemed to go on forever but that made the sleeves unbelievably quick. The lace pattern was pretty easy to memorize once it was established and I really like the way it runs down the raglan seams at the shoulders. The yarn, as always, was lovely to work with - soft and pretty - and my sister appreciated hearing that it can go through the washer. The buttons are just simple plastic ones from my button jar. I tried out a few different styles and colours but these were the easiest to use of the ones that looked nice with the yarn. I figured that anything helps when you're trying to dress a small, squirmy person.
