I read somewhere that knitting the BSJ in fingering would produce a newborn-size sweater, so I decided to test that theory out.
Is that too small? I have no idea, but I enjoyed knitting it and love the results, even though it still needs buttons. (I place buttonholes on both sides because 1) I can never remember which side is for boys and which is for girls, and 2) by sewing the buttons over one set of buttonholes, I can be sure buttons and buttonholes will line up.)

Cute! Love the colour
That is so cute!!!!
Sweet! I have yet to try the BSJ, as I fear the addictive quality may undo me. Your adorable example? Not helping there. Sigh.
