Presto Chango

A co-worker of mine is having a baby.  Soon!  We are scheduled to "shower" her in a week or so...and I've been knitting away on the Presto Chango (free download!)...quite possibly the cutest baby sweater I've ever seen.  I love it because it looks like a mini-grown up sweater.  And the concept of a detachable/interchangable front panel is so cool.  I wish I had come up with it!  You can actually knit different panels that button-on when you want a new "look"...for your very stylish baby.   




This is the back...


The front panel has a lovely yarnover (YO) pattern.


The buttons are very simple - I bought them at Michael's.  (P.S. the baby's a girl, don't worry...) 


I used organic cotton from Debbie Bliss's ECO Fairtrade Collection.  The gauge is 4 stitches to the inch, and I achieved this on size US 8. 

I hope baby and mama like!
