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

We start with a garter stitch collar and then do just 4 short rows to elevate the back of the collar slightly. We do a little garter button placket down the centre of the front, then the rest is mostly stocking stitch. There’s a very simple texture below the yoke by just working two rounds of stocking stitch followed by alternating purl 1, knit 3 rounds on every 3rd round.

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 Leaf.

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.
