first baby cardigan

making a sweater has intimidated me..to the point I'd look at a pattern and assume there was no way I'd be able to make something like that...
Well some friends have adopted a baby girl and the challenge was now there.. make the baby a sweater.  So I found this pattern that said it was simple...hmmm looks pretty simple... http://www.suite101.com/content/easy-crochet-pattern--for-newborn-jacket-a349289 is the pattern..

So finding yarn in my stash I proceeded.  My fear came true..I wasn't getting the arms the same..but it wasn't hard to fix!

Then I wanted a hat to match and started looking for patterns... I don't need a pattern!  I've made hats, I know the shell stitch used...voila!  a matching hat...

Now I just have to figure out how to post pictures here...
thank you Bailey4 from crochetville... PICTURES!



For now here is my ravelry page to that project http://www.ravelry.com/projects/FrLopLady/easy-crochet-pattern-for-newborn-jacket  and now I don't need this anymore!
