Designed by Robyne Conway of minimal knits | DESIGNED
These minimal knits | DESIGNED seamless baby summer tops are made Top Down with integrated neck and plackets bands. Once the yoke reaches the end of the plackets we work in the round, and when the knitting is finished all we have to do is weave in the ends and sew on the buttons. Both tops are cropped and have roomy armholes for warm weather comfort.
MK45 was inspired by the stylish dresses of Lady Rose from Downton Abbey, with a slight flare at the sides and moss stitch detailing at the neck and hem. MK46 is an A-line top with sweet puffed sleeves and broken rib detailing at the neck, sleeves and hem.
Both patterns are contained in one pdf file. One ball of 8ply Cotton is enough to make both tops for all sizes except the largest size.
