Craftsy Free Pattern - Mon Petit Violon Buttoned Jacket Revisited

Well I enjoyed making this pattern so much for Xena that I used it again to crochet a sweater for sweet baby Heron, my friends in Seattle, Mike and Bree's newborn.  I used DK weight Madeline Tosh Forager from Imagiknit with a size G hook.  The yarn is 100% merino wool and it just glides through your fingers like pure bliss.  It takes a little more than a skein and a 1/2 of a 225 yards/205 metres skein.

I used vintage pearly lavender buttons.

I just can't get enough of how well the textured griddle stitch works with this variegated yarn so I decided to buy more of the same colorway to make another cardigan for Xena in the 6-12 month size!
