Here’s a fun and easy knit for a little girl who lights up your life. Worked top-down and in the round, this nifty number will have her bouncing for joy. If you’re knitting a smaller size, you could easily use odd balls (leftovers) of different colors to complete your very own version. If desired, work this in one color. The ruffle at the bottom is achieved by simple increases and is worked in one piece with the skirt. After you’re finished knitting, a length of elastic is added to the waistband to ward off any potential wardrobe malfunction when the bouncing gets a-going.

Bounce is suitable for beginning knitters who can knit and purl in the round, work increases, and if working stripes, changing colors.
