This seamless baby pullover is made top down with integrated neck and button bands, the seamless hat is made from the bottom up, and when the knitting is finished all we have to do is weave in the ends and sew on the buttons.

A simple combination of knit 1 purl 1 rib and garter stitch gives us a cosy and clever looking (but really easy) pattern, and depending on your yarn colour and button choices it will be suitable for a baby girl or boy.

Like all minimal knits | DESIGNED baby clothes, MK#60 provides plenty of room to grow and the sleeves are designed to be rolled up when baby is at the younger end of the range.

The pictured pullover and hat were made with Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply/DK Marble Glow machine washable wool, in the colour Amber Light.

Skill Level Beginner… even though it might include a technique you haven’t used before, the pattern contains simple, straightforward instructions and notes on where to look for more information.
