Baby blouse for a summer baby

Last time I was in London i bought two skeins of Debbie Bliss Wool/cotton mix.
One of my young relatives is expecting a baby this summer, so I decided to create a summer blouse/alternative west for the little one.

 

The picture are lying when it comes to the colour, it is not pink, it is red. But that doesn't really matter, because it turned out to not be gender neutral as planned, it became feminine as I worked on the finnishing details.

 

Back and front knitted on knitting machine- tuck stitch.

Side sewn together,

Neck opening knitted on hand, same with arm openings and bottom.

 

Babyvest

I am (finally) going to be a grandmother! In December. So all the cool knitted stuff to little ones are in my knitting  backlog.

This is a knitted babyvest in Wool/silk blend from Duo. The recipe is from Lillestrikk but there are several free recipes pretty much like it available on the net. Looking for incrediable cute small buttons for it :-)
