I absolutely love this pattern. It's cute, quick and easy enough that I did most of the colour work part on a long car journey.
My only reservation is that I think the sizing is a little on the large side, and so I made a 9 - 12 month old size to fit a little boy who is about to turn 1.
It makes a lovely christmas jumper, but not being christmas-specific it would be wearable all winter.
The buttons came from Hobbycraft. As far as I can tell, they're intended to be worn at front or back, depending on what you prefer. I think I liked them better at the front.
The John Lewis Heritage Merino dk is a merino/acrylic blend, and lovely and soft. I needed something washable, as this is for a baby, but it wasn't at all squeaky like some acrylic can be. And it took colour work beautifully, without any crinkling.

Another beautiful child sweater! Cream and denim go so well together!
