What knitwear do teenagers like?

We have a work experience student this week in the Cullompton shop and I thought it would be interesting to find out what kind of knitwear and colours she would like. So, first task today was to go through the Ladies DK folder for inspiration.

She chose these three patterns.

"I like the patterns on the cardigan and the buttonslook  unique on the side of the cardigan, the yellow in particular is a nice compliment to it's design and it is nice for the winter or the summer."

"I like the stripes on the jumper and the purple lines it makes it stand out with the white.The length is good as well because it is good for the winter as it keeps you warm, it has a nice material to it and it's soft you can have any colour."

This was her favourite DK pattern

"I like the style of the top with the diamond patterns and the colour of the cardign.The short top with the cardigan really brings out the patterns and what it is.The short top is good for the summer and you can have it in any colour you want. The short top also comes with a cardigan which is a good fit for the short top."

I asked Amelia-Rose to pick out some colours and work out the cost to make her favourite in each of the yarns.
