What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Started this project to make a suit for a boy in a blue-purple yarn. After completing the yoke and starting the body, i decided to continue the body to make it a bunting. I love the body stitch.

I completed the bottom on the bunting by doing a row of sc, a row of trebles and then 4 rows of dc. Finished off with a row of shells and fed though ribbon to give it a nice shape.

This is a great idea. I have made many long sweaters but never thought to make a bunting. Thanks for the idea.
