Dancing frogs

I was asked to knit a frogs sweater for 3 years old girl. Colours - pink (sweater) + green (frogs) was rather difficult to combine but I did find the tones which inspired me.

The process was long but fortunaltely winter is still far away.

Knitted as top-down raglan. Frogs were not so easy to put on so small sweater. So I decided to leave middle legs hanging - and just frogs became dancing ones. :)

Back side - ribbed stich (green) along the sides, reverse stockinette (black) in the middle which grows bigger going up.
Stitch for joining sleeves with body:



And this stich with small knots for neckline edge:
