This minimal knits | DESIGNED seamless baby pullover is made in the round, top-down and when the knitting is finished all we have to do is weave in the ends.

We start with a knit 1 purl 1 rib neck band and then do some simple short rows to lower the front of the neck band. The cuffs and hem are also knit 1 purl 1 rib, and except for the grass stitch panel down the front and one round with part of the grass stitch above the sleeve cuffs, the rest is just stocking stitch.

The row gauge for the grass stitch panel is a little bit shorter than for stocking stitch, so I recommend blocking the pullover when its finished.

Depending on your yarn choices this pullover is perfect for a little boy or girl.

The pictured pullover was made with DK/8ply Bendigo Woollen Mills Prism in the colour Fairy Tale.

Skill Level Easy… 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.
