For this baby cardigan I went back to a pattern I've used several times before. This time I decided to omit the built-in garter stitch button band, and instead pick up and knit a ribbed band. I wanted a v-neck and didn't completely love the way the garter stitch looked, the last time I did that.
And I used the wonderful Dance of Robots chart by Soile Pyhänniska. I was searching for a single colour motif that would fit on a baby cardigan, and wouldn't be seen to be gender-specific. It's for the newly-weds who received the blanket - baby is due soon, and they chose not to find out if it is a girl or a boy. I suppose some people might think robots are a boy thing, but that's crazy, because robots are cool. Especially dancing robots.
I suspect I will use the whole pattern one day, but this time I needed a baby garment and it didn't come in a baby size.
The red is Filatura Di Crosa Zarina and the silver is Patons Dreamtime.

Absolutely awesome Liv!
So cool!
It's brilliant love the colours lucky baby my friends would be lining up for this one. Your friends too I reckon
That is one gorgeous and super cute cardigan! Love the colour (but of course!) and what could be cooler than dancing robots! I so dislike the extremely tendered baby clothes available in the shops at the moment. Ugh! This is so much better!
I agree, dancing robots are irresistible to any baby, girl or boy!! I love colourful baby clothes too!!
I have a dancing robot on my desk! They are girl things too. I love that sweater. What a cool thing for a baby.
That is indeed cute! I love those dancing robots.
