Crocheted Baby Sweater

A couple of young ladies I know both had baby girls this past month, within days of each other. Annabelle Lee, who was a first born, and Violet, who joins her big sister, Honey Rose. I wanted to make something for them rather than purchasing something. I always find it more personal that way. I decided on sweaters... something that I could make up fairly quickly. I found a cute crocheted sweater pattern here:

I wanted to make them in colors and yarns that weren't the traditional "pink" baby weight yarn, so I chose Lion Brand Homespun in violet for, of course, Violet...and I chose a varigated blue, purple, green version for Annabelle. I then bought some contrasting Fun Fur to use around the neckline, sleeve cuffs and down the front. Here is the finished one for Violet. I'll probably make some sort of matching hat as well. This is a really easy sweater to crochet, and makes up fairly fast. It only took me two evenings of working on it for a few hours while watching movies.

I figured I would make larger sizes, since babies tend to grow so fast, and that way they will have something to wear in the colder weather.
