Your grandchildren will love their gorgeous jumpers, Farmor15 !

I'm sure there's a lot of love knitted in with those cute creatures.

When my boys were wee, I knitted them cartoon character jumpers, Aran knits and Icelandic style sweaters. Now it takes me all my time to manage plain and purl and a wee cable for the grandchildren.

They are lovely! I like the wiggly worms along the bottom and on the sleeves.

Grandchildren requested new jumpers and I expected designs like dinosaur and unicorn. However, insects and guinea pigs were asked for! As I couldn't find any knitting patterns for these, I decided to see if I could invent my own. Here are the results.

If anyone wants more information about how I did it, I'll try to explain. The designs are pretty much how you would do cross stitch or tapestry, with counted squares.
