'Little Lions' 3 piece set
Little Lions Baby Set
Score a style goal with the Little Lions knitting set—a charming, sporty ensemble perfect for the littlest fans.
This coordinated three-piece kit includes a short-sleeved top, matching shorts, and cozy socks, all featuring classic athletic detailing and iconic motifs.
Designed with both comfort and convenience in mind, this pattern is perfect for knitters who want a professional finish without the fuss of complex construction.
Pattern Highlights
• Top-Down Construction: Knitted from the top down, making it easy to check the fit as you go.
• Straight Needle Friendly: No need for circulars! This entire set is worked on straight needles, then seamed for a structured, classic look.
• Integrated Colorwork: The “ENGLAND” text and the red rose motif are worked directly into the fabric as you knit.
Design Details
• The Top: Features a comfortable neckline, raglan-style sleeves, and a buttoned shoulder for easy dressing.
• The Shorts: Designed with a stretchy ribbed waistband and contrast stripe detailing on the hems to match the jersey.
• The Socks: Classic “team” socks with striped cuffs to complete the look from head to toe.
Pro Tip: This pattern uses a mix of intarsia and stranded knitting for the motifs. Because it’s knitted flat, managing your yarn floats is a breeze!
