I love how simple and elegant the garter stitch looks. Perfect for a new little one!

Oh this reminds me that I have some baby booties and hats to make for a friend. I'll have to find something lightweight since she's due in July. I like the delicate colors in the yarn you used!
So adorable looking! :-)
