This is a lovely baby top with a knitted ribbon element on the chest in size 0-3 and 3-6 m. At first the top is knitted flat (back and forth) and later it is joined in the round. The top is worked top down with raglan sleeves worked in the round and no seaming required. Part of the back piece is open to allow easy dressing. I sewed on a small button and made a chain using a crochet hook. These can easily be replaced with satin ribbon if desired. There are cute ruffles at the bottom which make it super girly.
