      Beautiful colour combination. She has given her thumbs up must means she loves it. The bunny's tail looks so realistic with the fur pom-pom.

      Very pretty. I've bought just the same yarn and am knitting this jumper for my granddaughter. I keep thinking the neckline looks very wide - did you find any problems with it or did you adjust the pattern at all? I'd put mine on one side because I felt a bit disappointed with it, but now I've seen yours finished, it's spurring me on!

        Hi Marian. I didn't find the neckline a particular problem other than needing to stitch up a few holes where I'd picked up the stitches. It wasn't until I saw the jumper on my granddaughter that I realised how wide the neck was but it's fine on her so I'm sure you'll be ok. I didn't adjust the pattern at all. Good luck and hope to see your finished photo very soon! I'll attach one of Chloe wearing her jumper so you can see what it looks like on her. Philippa

        @Philippa P: Thank you for your reply Philippa, and the photo. I did think it looked a bit wide so I think I might try and adjust it a bit, although I'm not very good at adapting patterns! I ended up doing a picot edging at the bottom and round the cuffs because I'm not too keen on just the garter stitch - I'm beginning to think I should have tried a different pattern, I'll have changed so much! Like you, I had the idea of a fluffy tail, so I used some fluffy white yarn I had left from doing my fluffy sheep cushion, and that is quite effective. Basically, I think I've come to the conclusion that I'm not a big cotton fan, preferring pure wool really, but we live and learn! I'll post a photo when I eventually get to the end of it and hope I can get it right. Love your buttons, by the way! Enjoy your knitting. x

        @Marian F: yes I know what you mean about knitting with cotton yarn - not my favourite! Good luck and keep at it. I'm sure it will look fabulous when it's finished. Px

        @Philippa P: Hello again, I've completed my bunny jumper now and have uploaded it to my project page. I'm not totally happy with it, but my granddaughter likes it, so that's ok!
