Whatever is it?It's amazing what a couple of seams and a few buttons can do! I didn't care for the look of the neck as finished, so I added an I-cord around it to soften the edge.
Surprise!There was enough yarn left for a pair of matching booties using one of my favorite patterns. The sweater is Elizabeth Zimmerman's baby surprise sweater. It surely is surprising, isn't it? Hope they all fit you, Sophie!
A bonus

Very sweet ---- I know the new baby will feel snuggly-loved when she wears her new sweater and booties.
Hey Judy! Wow - who would've thought the knitted 'thing' could become such a cute little cardie for baby Sophie!! What a clever chook you are and how lucky Miss Sophie is to receive such a wonderful hand-knitted gift to keep her snuggly warm!! Bear hugs! KRIS

So pretty! The booties are just too cute. Sophia is adorable.
Well...I'm shocked by what it turned out to be! Amazing. Still trying to imagine how you folded it got it to turn into such a cute baby sweater :)
