Knitting a Classic Baby Cardigan, Little Jamboree by DROPS

So, by now you probably know that my friend Marseille enjoys knitting things for her nieces and nephew and they love wearing whatever she makes them. This post focuses on the Little Jamboree by DROPS design from BabyDROPS 16 that she created for her first niece with Jo-Ann Sensations Bamboo & Ewe Pattern using 3.25mm (3US) knitting needles.

She chose whimsical purple smiling flower buttons for the cardigan.

She made the smallest size of the cardigan pattern, which was intended for 0–3 months and fit her nieces for birth through four months, in varying stages of bagginess.

So, no surprise, but Marseille entered this darling cardigan into Anne Arundel County Fair and it won a Red Ribbon.

Let’s look one more time at the way the buttons and colorway play off one another.

Don’t you just love the cheerful orange of the colorway?
