Hooray! The sweater for my seven-year-old daughter is done! I just finished it a couple hours ago, and am pretty pleased with how it turned out. Oversized is an understatement, and it will likely fit her well into the teen years. It is nice and fluffy and warm and easily fits over a few layers of shirts. Overall it turned out just how I wanted, albeit a little wider than I imagined it would (didn't do a gauge swatch or any math before starting).
I used lion brand homespun yarn, on a size 10 circular needle. Seed stitch, without following a pattern, just a basic and simple sweater. Shoulders are seamed using 3 needle bind off, so the only sewing I did was to tack the inside of the collar down. I braided a cord to keep the collar pulled in until she grows into the shoulders.
