Presto Cango Baby Sweater

Every once in a while I run across a baby knitting pattern that is truly ingenious. This is one of those patterns. It is almost like having a self-cleaning baby LOL. This sweater is made so that if baby spits up, drools or spills you can just swap out the dirty part of the sweater and you are good-to-go. How cool is that?
The buttoned front section is like a built in bib that you just unbutton, remove and replace with a clean section. That way you can rinse out the soiled section, hang to dry and have it ready for the next mess.
