The pattern itself is from the book "Special Knits" by Debbie Bliss. Overall, I'd say this little top was way more tedious than it needed to be, but mostly due to user error (knitting in the wee hours) rather than pattern error. I will say though, thank goodness for Ravelry! There is no picture in the book of that cute little keyhole button closure in the back, and trying to make sense out of that part of the pattern without seeing it first would have been madness.
(My photoshop refused to make that bigger, but all of those photos are uploaded onto Flickr here!)

Oh that is stunning. I blogged about my DD wearing her vest this week. It is gorgeous on, I am sure your friend is going to adore it.
Superly duperly cute!
What more could a girl ask for? A pony. Yup, it's inevitable.
Holy crap, those are adorable!! I am so jealous that all of my friends seem to be popping out boys. I can't tell you how much baby blue scrap yarn I have.
AWESOME job!!
P.S. I had a really, stupidly bad misspelling in my other comment that I just deleted. (In case you were wondering)
Squee!! Absolutely adorable!! Love love love them both! The ribbon just puts the girlyness factor over the top. Great job!
Very Cute. That top is adorable. Love it. :)
What a gorgeous dress, I need a baby to knit for!
Wow, your girly FO's are awesome. Such a nice job!
So girlylicious! That will be a blessed baby.
Didn't your mom tell you not to be running around at 1 AM. There are bad people out there at that time of morning!
I'm pretty much convinced that the ridiculous level of girlyness in baby clothes has to do with the fact that it's difficult to tell the sex of a tiny baby. It's like screaming, "Look at me I'm a girl!" Which might explain my brother. He had to wear his two older sister's clothes when he was a baby. I'm not sure what this has to do with anything. But good job with the knitting!
Those are some seriously girly duds, alright! They look really practical, too, so I bet the recipient will get a lot of use out of them.
And hooray for Ravelry for helping you make sense of the back closure!
Both are so unbelievably precious, great job!
yeah, girlie meters are on overload, I love them both, beautiful work.
