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

Having a button placket down a side of the yoke means there’s plenty of room for easing the pullover over baby’s head. The neck band, hem and cuffs are ribbed, but it’s mostly stocking stitch with simple texture below the yoke by just knitting 2 rounds followed by slightly varied purl 1, knit 3 rounds.

Depending on our yarn and button choice, it’s suitable for little boys and girls.

The pictured pullover was made with DK/8ply Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury in the colour Sunflower.

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.
