I’ve finally been getting some little mommy mades ready for Baby #3! One of the sweaters I had been wanting to make for her was the Puerperium sweater that I found on Pinterest, and when I found some sweet colored yarn to make it with it was only a matter of getting started (which is no small feat sometimes!).

 I used “I Love This Cotton” in Rosy by Yarn Bee, knowing that it was heavier than what the pattern called for and would turn out just a bit bigger than the 0-6 weeks size the pattern was written for.
Well, it did turn out bigger. Probably about a 3-6 month size?
I’ll let you exactly how much bigger once she’s here to try it on. :)

 The buttons are vintage ones that I found at in a big jar at a yard sale a few years ago. They’re wood look-a-likes, but probably out of some hard plastic.

This sweater is so soft and cozy! I can picture it with leggings over a long-sleeve onesie with her rolls of baby chubbiness …… oh, can hardly wait!

If I have time before she arrives, I’m hoping to knit up another (with long sleeves) somewhat closer to a newborn size. It’s such a sweet and easy pattern, and goes quite quickly (once you actually start …. :D)
