Knit Baby Gifts 2 : Little man cardigan

Another baby gift that I completed for a coworker last October was the Diamond Seed Baby Jacket from Interweave Knits. 

This pattern has the making of a true family heirloom. The pattern gets a little tedious by the end, but I am in love with the results. It's slick and classic looking.

Since I didn't know the gender of the baby, I knit this in Knitpicks Risatta in green and used red buttons. The yarn is spongy and soft, but still showed the pattern with good definition.

I've seen pictures of the gift recipient (a little boy) in the sweater, and he looks adorable!
