My friend wanted this set for her daughter in size 9-12months, but the pattern was only available in 0-3months so I had to adapt it a bit and knitted it in Aran wool, which helped make it bigger. She's very pleased with the end result as am I. I followed patterns of similar items for leg/arm lengths to help enable the right sizing.
I used about 2 and a half balls lilac and 1 and a half balls white wool for this project.
Although this is a relatively easy pattern to follow (leggings are easy, just 1x1 rib), I'd classify it as intermediate, only because, when doing the raglans, if you're not careful you could do them too long, when following the pattern and doing the raglan at the same time, as the pattern decreases and increases stitches as you're trying to decrease stitches for the raglans, so at some point you have to stop half of the pattern at each end so it decreases properly, if not, you could be trying for ages.
