I just got my first niece, though I won't be able to see her until Christmas, and I'm so excited. Knitting for wee ones is great fun, in addition to all the other cool auntly privileges! Your cables are beautiful, and I love the color. My button suggestion would be some leather woven buttons - they're manly, beautiful, and I think would look great with those cables. There are also those scrummy deerhorn buttons from Schoolhouse Press. I promised one of my sons that I'd get some for one of his sweaters. Yay for nephews!

What kind of knits does his father wear? That might also give you some ideas. I also agree with the wood button suggestions, or a manly metal button as long as it’s safe for your nephew.

Ignore the fact that I'm working on a February Lady Sweater so I am completely capable of making this for myself. That said, I'd go with wood. Maybe some sturdy toggle type buttons, because baby's seem to like to grab onto buttons that will keep the sweater closed and be fun to play with?

I'd have balked at subbing a 12 stitch into a a 7 stitch (or I'd have messed it up badly), but look at you go! It's lovely. Look at you, modifying here, changing that.
