Designed by Robyne Conway of minimal knits | DESIGNED
This seamless minimal knits MK#61 baby jumper is made Top Down with an integrated neck band, and the matching seamless Hat/beanie is made bottom up. When the knitting is finished, all we have to do is weave in the ends!
The v-neck is not too low, so baby's chest stays warm. The body and the Hat/beanie are gently decorated with garter stitch and some knit 1/purl 1 texturing, and depending on your yarn colour this set will be suitable for a baby girl or boy.
*ERRATA Oct 2023: Stitch count for sleeve #2, size 18-24 month (at bottom of p3) should be 30 sts, not 26 stitches.
