Baby Bolero Finished

Here is the finished baby bolero for my daughter's kindergarten teacher, who is due in January. This teacher was so influential in her life and she really made school a great experience for my baby girl, who really didn't want to go to school. She loves it now, and is thriving in first grade!

The eyelet detail:
Being a model is hard work!

is that the pattern from One Skein? I made one of those in Jiffy (got it on clearance for $1 a skein!) such a cute pattern! You did a great job, I'm sure the teacher will love it!

To Jennifer in Austin -
yes, it is from One Skein. Thanks for your comments!
I modified it by knitting it all on size 9's and for the arms, I picked up sts around the armhole rather than knitting them separately. I just knit to the cuff and did the ribbing, no decreases. I like the look. I also grafted the shoulders rather than seaming them because I wanted to reduce the bulk on such a small project.
