But for children's clothing I also look for a pattern that has a variety of sizes - because my little one is growing so fast, I might not make the pattern before she outgrows it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112198610773711564.post-41295358365376468422013-03-23T17:25:04.893-07:002013-03-23T17:25:04.893-07:00Clear instructions and that the pattern is develop...Clear instructions and that the pattern is developed so that it looks a little more grown up on the grown up.

(for weird or not used as often abbreviations)<br /><br />Would love designs for bigger kids. So hard to find a good pattern that ISN'T for a baby!<br /><br />I look for a classic design with a twist. and NOT size 2 needles. Babies grow quickly, I prefer a bigger yarn- at least a size 5 needle but bigger is fine too!<br /><br /> I like Pullovers- buttons look pretty but aren't practical for little ones- at least they didn't work for me. I prefer a pullover any day. <br /><br />The giveaway pattern is perfect.
