The problem with this sweater is that the front of it folds over itself, and then ties around the babies body with really long ribbons, one of which threads through a hold in the side of the sweater. Some of the projects have a tie at the nape of the neck which makes sense for a small neck opening but the whole body tie thing seems rather complicated.

The yarn shop used this very cute, flat, flower shaped shell button that ends up being at the baby's waist on the side, once the sweater is closed. I hope I can find one similar.
