My oldest sister is a knitter and made this sweater/bonnet/booties for me. She started it last spring and had it completely finished except the buttons and ribbons. She delayed so long that she was able to enter it into a county fair and win a ribbon for it! Here is Juliette modeling it. She isn't bald, the bonnet is covering her hair!
She said it was tedious. I'm not sure how long it took her to make it. I picked out the pattern and yarn and she did all the work! This is the pattern I bought from Joann's if anyone wants to make one for themself.
