Two years ago, when my granddaughter was 9 months old, my son asked if I could design an "Olaf" Christmas sweater for her to wear at Christmas. When it was finished, he asked if I could also do one for him and my daughter-in-law. I put more detail into the background for the adult pictures and reversed the pattern for one so they would all be slightly different. After putting the picture onto graph paper, I then wrote it all out, row by row as I prefer to follow instructions rather than a chart.
I can't remember what pattern I used for the baby jumper (the wool was Robin 4 Ply Madonna and White, Stylecraft Special 4 Ply in Black and Sirdar Country Style 4 Ply in Chocolate. The nose for all 3 sweaters was a scrap.of rather bright orange.
Because I knitted the baby sweater first, I used the same wool for Olaf's stick arms (4 ply chocolate) and just knitted with 2 strands of wool for the adult sweaters.

If you had a picture that you would like to see if I can make a pattern for it, I would be happy to try.
