This is just so cute! The pattern is for shorts, shirt, slipover, cap and bootees. Your little 10-16 inch boy will look like a mini 1940s schoolboy. The shirt and shorts are plain, the slipover requires a little more work but the fairisle strip is only over 9 rows, so not too taxing! It is knitted in 3-ply, 4-ply or DK depending on size required.
