It seems like forever ago that I finished my five hour baby sweater. Then it sat and waited for the little one to arrive. I knit it a little big for a few reasons. So it could be used in cooler weather, so it would hopefully fit for awhile, and because my babies tend to grow so fast the first few months…it seems they outgrown what I knit them before I can even remember to put it on them more than maybe once! I kept looking at this little sweater toward the end of my pregnancy thinking it looked so big. Then last week, as the cooler weather began to set in, I looked at it again and realized maybe it wasn’t all that big for Sorrel. So I got out the lovely wooden buttons pictured above from Wooly Moss Roots, did a late night blocking session and sewed them on. Every day ever since this guy has been wearing his sweater. It is knit with some naturally dyed yarn from Bramblebery Yarns. I think the wooden buttons complete this sweater perfectly.
I would like to knit up a couple more of these sweaters. It may just be one of my favorite knits.
Also, if you get a chance, hop on over and visit Annie’s new website for Alphabet Glue. She also has an amazing giveaway on her blog going on this week for craft supplies to accompany many of the projects in the Alphabet Glue issues.
I love the sweater, but the link takes me to a previous post and that link takes me to a Error page. Is the pattern made by Alphabet Glue? Is it on Ravelry? Thanks!
Link fixed….now it will take you to my ravelry page where you should easily be able to find the pattern. Thanks for letting me know!
So sweet in that gorgeous sweater, but I think my favorite part is the hat!!!

He IS getting big!
Oh how lovely! Every single bit! xx
So sweet, Lisa! Beautiful baby and beautiful sweater! Those buttons look perfect on the sweater

Lisa,
Thanks so much for linking to us, we appreciate it.
Sorrel is so incredibly precious!! Look at his eyes… and those little lips… and those cheeks. What a cutie.
The sweater turned out gorgeous, wow. I love Cynthia’s yarns at Brambleberry Yarns, with all the natural beautiful colors. And the Wooly Moss Roots buttons look perfect on there.
I have a pinterest board showing Wooly Moss Roots buttons on creative projects, I’ll add some of these pictures on there that will link to you.
Love, Taryn
Absolutely adorable, the baby and the sweater! I currently have a newborn sweater and jumpsuit on the needles but am now inspired to cast this on for my third son due the beginning of January. It looks so warm and precious.
I’m new to your blog and am enjoying reading!
Such beautiful subtle hues. Your vest and sweater both turned out great! The natural wood buttons are a great accent to the five hr sweater, and your sweet babe looks absolutely precious in it
great little sweater! your little one looks so cozy warm!
What an adorable baby! And such a sweet sweater! Perfect for the cooler weather!
Wow! It is adorable (so is the sweet baby by the way). I am so jealous, I just don’t have the talent for knitting. You did such a wonderful job…and I love the buttons!
How so cute he is. I love the combination of wool. Those buttons are just the cutest as well.
That sweater is SO adorable and completely perfect on him. I think I might use that pattern to make a sweater for my stepsons’ new little sister due at the end of the year. Your camera strap cover is pretty too.
And the buttons are completely gorgeous! Thanks for posting the link. I’ve been looking for a good wood button source on etsy. 
Oh I cannot recommend Taryn and Jeff’s (Wooly Moss Roots) goodies enough. I would happily have all of my family’s clothing adorned in them!
The buttons are perfect for your lovely jumper.
Your babe is gorgeous and the handknits look so lovely. I just love looking at your knits; your stitches are gorgeous!
xo,
