There have been lotsa babies recently. One was born to a colleague of mine, a little boy named Brandon. Around the same time, I bought a copy of Alice Starmore’s Children’s Collection in an ebay auction, and the sender also offered Debbie Bliss’s Baby Style along with it. In that book, there was a sweater that I really liked, called Moss Stitch Jacket. I thought that it would be good practise if I am ever going to make an Alice Starmore cardi covered in seed stitch.
I made this one in Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, and I really liked the way it turned out. I think Brandon’s parents liked it too. Brandon probably couldn’t care less, but he gets to do that, being a baby.

I love the little pockets. Like a baby needs pockets!
Another friend had a little girl, Ryan, and I am working on something for her too, but I think it will be something less conservative, like a Jolly Roger sweater or something. Although I haven’t met Ryan, only her sister Riley. If she is anything like her sister, it will fit. We’ll see.
