I used Patons Serenity DK Bamboo & Cotton, knitted on 3.25mm needles. I knit the top in the round to save on seams. The skirt pattern was just a drawing with no measurements, so I just had a guess as I know what size my grand-daughter is and the length for long pants and worked it out from there. I drew a pattern on newspaper and cut it out.
I am really enjoying this sewing/knitting time of late. It didn't take long to sew the 3 layers together hem over a band and thread through elastic - that done and it was back to the knitting I started on Saturday. Today Monday - all done.
The only change I made to the pattern was I did eye cord for the straps instead of using ribbon.
Now to find something else to knit.
