Rah-rah!

A little late for the Super Bowl, but just in time for March Madness - Team Spirit, a new pattern for little girls, sizes 2-7.

This little outfit uses only basic knitting skills and is a good introduction to changing colors. The skirt has an elastic waist, so it's easily adjusted to fit; the top is knit flat (in 2 pieces) and joined at the shoulders with the 3-needle bind off technique for a polished finish. Yarn shown is Berroco Comfort worsted (blue/white) and Knit Picks Swish worsted (red/cream).

The inner panels of the skirt hide behind the outer panels, but give plenty of flare when jumping and twirling (and we know little girls like to jump and twirl).
Pattern is $4 and is available here or on the sidebar.


Stash acquisition from last week: Noro Silk Garden and coordinating Cascade 220... I can't wait to knit this up, but it's about the third project in line. Eventually!

Knit on, stay warm, and watch the snow melt!
