Pretty Vintage Baby Sweater Pattern

Back in June of 2006, I was out browsing in an antique shop, and I came across this nice vintage Woman's Day magazine from July, 1957:

Of course, I HAD to buy it, because it had a nice article about Grace Kelly knitting a sweet baby cardigan for her new little baby girl, Princess Caroline. :)

Such a sweet story, and a lovely baby sweater knitting pattern as well!

Here's the story:

I haven't tried knitting the sweater myself yet, but I will!

I just love that little sweater! Especially on baby Princess Caroline. :D I want to get out my finest, baby soft yarn to make one just like it!

What a sweet story. It always makes me sad to think how tragically Princess Grace' life ended.

I hope you show the sweater when you get it knit! :-)
