Our PDF patterns are written in English, are aimed at advanced beginners and come with a schematic and template for the motif

This cosy, knitted pinafore has a fun intarsia rainbow motif worked into the front panel. The bib style top fastens with 2 buttons on straps and 2 on each side at waist for ease of fit. A ribbed waistband gives a closer fit across back and over nappy. To avoid long floats at the back of the work, use two balls of MC when working the motif and ensure that the colours are wrapped at the back of the work. For an extra bit of fun we have added tassels, these are optional, if you add tassels please ensure they are tied securely in place and cannot be pulled off by baby.

Skills Required: knit, purl, cast on, cast off, increase, decrease, colour changing, button holing
