Striped cardigan with anchor.

A couple of months ago I was thinking about knitting a cute striped set from Phildar N 465
I called it "Set a righe":

After knitting the main part of the sweater I lost the interest for this project, it seemed to be too small, not very easy to put on a little baby, but I still wanted to knit something with the stripes. So I decided to knit a classic striped cardigan, the model for all the times:

I used the same cotton blu and yellow-green yarns, with 4 threads and 3,5mm needles my gauge was 27 st. per 10 cm. I couldn't resist making the bigger size then needed. 
To accentuate the nautical theme I added a little embroidered anchor, the scheme I found online.



I think it would be a perfect outfit for summer evenings, now all we need is to knit the matching hat.
