Lucky, DS2 and Surprise's son, is now a year old! As part of his birthday present, I knit him a Little Hipster Cardigan in some 'neutralish' olivey green yarn. Neither picture below shows the true color, it's actually somewhere in between the two, sort of like the patina on old brass.

This is not a new pattern, I had actually gotten it way back when Rascal was a baby (he's now 6 going on 7!) but never ended up making it until now. Yarn is also stash yarn but not quite as old.
It was a relatively quick knit; I didn't even start it until after Christmas and was done with it by the third week of January. I made the 18 months size, based on what size clothing Lucky currently wears, although in hindsight I wish I'd been able to take measurements on him before starting knitting as I don't think it's going to be long enough for more than a month or so. He has quite the long torso.
As for the pattern itself, there were a few places that I found a little confusing as written, and I'm not totally thrilled with how some aspects of the sweater turned out. That said, I will most likely knit this pattern again in the future, making a few tweaks here and there, like adding a few rows to the fold over collar so that it actually folds over more.
