What was your inspiration?

I wanted to write a pattern for children's overalls that mirrored main stream denim overalls (Like Osh Kosh) and still have lots of versatility with sizing and not have saggy straps.

Kieki means child in Hawaiian

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it

What are you most proud of?

That I was able to do this huge undertaking in just about 2 weeks, knitting 2 pairs (boy and girl) and write out the entire pattern.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It is a fun knit, but make sure that your gauge is correct and that you gather all the necessary measurements before you start, so that your fully custom sizing will be beneficial to you.
