What was your inspiration?

My granddaughters are my inspiration!

What are you most proud of?

I love the fact that this jumper slides easily over the child's head with no fussy buttons or anything that could become detached. The beret is adorable to complete the ensemble!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This is a fairly easy (and fast) knit in the round project - top down on the jumper, from the bottom up on the beret. Love, love, love those seamless projects. when you're done, you're done!!! Simply weave in the loose ends. I'm not much of a blocker either. The first time, I simply machine washed the clothing and laid the jumper flat to dry (same for the hat). You can also machine wash and simply hang the jumper on a little plastic hanger. It will dry fast!

That's great! It's easy enough for them to put the jumper on by themselves. It's an easy knit too!
