Nearly everyone in their pattern comments on Ravelry mentions that this was a poorly written pattern, and I can't disagree. There were a few sections which I completely improvised, and I still don't understand what the pattern actually wanted me to do. But, no matter, because the end result is adorable, and if my coworker's son never wears it, I wouldn't be too upset.
The buttons are actually a little trompe l'oeil: they are sewed directly on the front of the jumper, and the neck opening is actually secured with snaps. I am always fearful when it comes to sewing small items on baby clothing, but I do think that mom will appreciate the simplicity of snaps versus having to do up buttons with a (potentially) screaming and wiggly baby.
