Level of Difficulty - Intermediate
Quick to make and worked from the top down, this seamless pinafore is worked in the round in garter stitch with a stocking stitch bib. It features buttoned straps, overlapping buttoned tabs at the sides and an A-Line skirt. The front and the back look the same apart from the buttons.

Note: Because this garment is worked from the top down, it is very easy to add extra length to the skirt section at a later date when a different size is required. You simply undo the cast off row, add the stitches to the needle and continue to work in garter stitch until desired length.
