Some of our best friends are expecting their first baby this winter, so clearly handknits are in order! This is the first of what I expect will be several little garments headed their way. (Adorable modelled shots of baby Amber courtesy of her proud dad! She’s about a month old here.)

This tutorial for working the back yoke is so helpful — the in-pattern instructions are good, but it’s nice to have the visual.

Despite what the dates above would have you believe, this is a very quick little knit, and was knit entirely in three (quite far apart) sittings.
