My friend has had a new baby girl, and her name is Sophia. I was so inspired to knit for her! And it was so much fun to make something a bit girly.
I used Debbie Bliss Rialto (2 skeins) and my own fishy chart. The first picture is most accurate for colour - it's almost a pond scum green with a rose contrast yarn and real pockets of course.
Please remember that the Baby Sophisticate pattern runs very small, so always judge your size by the chest measurement - under the arms - and this will tell you how much to increase before putting the arm stitches on holders. A good standard chart for baby sizes is here:
This is from the BBC Homepage, England. These are body measures, and don't include ease, so I recommend adding an inch or even two (I like to be generous with baby sweaters so that they can be used for a long time) to the chest measures.
I have to say, I really enjoy knitting baby sweaters. Who wouldn't? They are fast and usually simply put together, and can be customized in infinite variety.

Very cute. How nice it must be that a baby is given your name.
