When I came across this cardigan for a baby boy designed by Tin Can Knits, I knew I had to knit it for my friend’s baby due next month. If only because her husband wears this exact type of sweater.
Here is my version:
Due to time restraints, I had to omit the pockets and elbow patches. Still I think the sweater has lots of charm. But then I realized I had a couple of extra days after all, but not to re-block the sweater, so I knit up this hat to coordinate with the buttons.
I made lots of needless errors on this sweater. I equally blame my sloppy reading skills and their poor pattern editing. My full notes are on Ravelry.

yikes! sounds like you had some issues with the pattern. I have learned to not print out that last page with ads. 🙂 It did turn out VERY cute…

Yes, I am happy with it now that it is finished. It was just frustrating how many mistakes I kept making because of how the terms were written inconsistently. If I ever knit another TCK pattern, I now know to attack it with a highlighter and some scissors for a little manual cut/paste.

I just never had any trouble with any of their simple collection. Although as a beginner I was reading every word, and clicking on all the links to the tutorials.

A great reminder for me to slow down and take the time to fully understand what I’m working with.
