Need baby sweater pattern--got one?

[sonuptosondown]

I want to make a teeny cotton sweater for the new baby's coming home outfit. I've been browsing Ravelry for a while now and can't find one!

I want:
worsted or dk weight cotton
pullover (I find a lot of kimonos and cardigans, but I don't want to deal with fasteners)

Does anyone have a pattern they've liked?
Thanks,
Deb

What about one of these?

Thanks for those links! The Organic Guernsey may work, though people didn't seem too happy with the pattern, and I'm not experienced enough to figure out how to fix it.

I also like this one from Bernat, but it appeared in a booklet and I don't know how to get the pattern now:

That is cute! Have you seen the peace baby? More than one person substituted worsted cotton for wool with good looking results.

Ok, so this may fall under the cardigan category, but it's not at all hard and is SO cute! http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/presto-chango
The Blue Sky Alpaca is perfect for this one!! Buttonholes are simple little eyelets and nothing to sweat over. Pattern is very clear and knits up quickly. The panel can be knit plain, but the lace is easy and a nice intro for lace newbies. Let us know what you find!

I've done the Organic Guernsey twice now, and it is a nice pattern, her sizings are just a little skimped- knit the larger size, IME. I'd put the traditional diamond-shaped gussets in for the armholes if you're knitting in cotton and I'd be sure to use a very stretchy bind-off and/or cast on: if I'd done this, I probably wouldn't have had half as many problems. LMK if you want any help with any of this.

I'd actually go with a very simple t-shaped sweater: Erika Knight has a few (the Simple Baby Sweater in my ravelry is knitted to that pattern.)

Flapjack, I want to see your baby sweater. Where are you on Ravelry?

I used this pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr...-baby-cardigan made it into a pullover like the person in the top picture. I just took out four sts (the overlap) and joined it. It was super fast. I used dk wool, but I don't know why you couldn't use cotton. I don't have pics as I haven't blocked it yet.
