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

A simple combination of stocking and garter stitch, with a few knit 1 purl 1 rounds, gives us a 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#61 pullover 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 Luxury machine washable wool, in the colour Sparkling Grape.

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.
