These seamless baby warm weather tops - with short sleeves or long sleeves - are made mostly in the round, top-down with integrated neckband and button bands. The matching sunhat is knitted in the round starting with the brim. When the knitting is finished all we have to do is weave in the ends and sew on the buttons.

Mostly stocking stitch with garter button placket and sleeve cuffs/edges and smocking along the roomy neck band as well as the hem.

Like all minimal knits | DESIGNED baby clothes, MK#63 provides plenty of room to grow.

The pictured tops and hat were made with DK/8ply pima cotton DK/8ply hand dyed by Bombed Yarns in the colours Code Blue and Party Popper.

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.
