My final sweater project, this time for my four-year-old:

I made it out of a different sweater this time, so I had more flexibility as to the design. It was already a turtleneck, so I used that to my advantage. The main changes were to make it narrow enough to fit her tiny frame and add mittens. I ended up with a nice, long sweater to keep her warm and bundled. She loves it and has fun flipping the mittens up and down.

No matter how clever the design, my children still seem to have trouble grasping the concept of staying bundled. She is perfectly happy to wear the mittens when inside the house, but then flips them back up when she goes out to play.
