Presto Chango Knitted Baby Sweater

Thought I'd post a picture of this little baby outfit I knitted a few months ago. I still have it because the baby it was intended for, grew faster than the knitting! Had to make another one two sizes larger for him to grow into. So now this is earmarked for another little one that's not yet born.

The hat is just something simple I made up as I went along, but the sweater pattern is called Presto Chango and you can download it for free here:  http://www.jimmybeanswool.com/freeKnittingPatternPrestoChango.asp  ( I think I added extra moss stitch on the front for some reason,- probably to make up for a mistake :) It's a nice easy knit with quite a lot of room for improvisation.

The yarn is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes but I can't remember the name of it. It's no longer in their catalog. I think it was Mocha Twist.

Hi sweet_mae! Thank you, and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I'll post more pictures soon. My hands were too busy with icy water buckets to think about taking pictures last week but I took a few today while it was nice.
