Baby Cotton Singlet Knit Kit
Baby Cotton Singlet Knit Kit
Choose between two baby singlets from Naturally pattern K480, knitted in soft Sesia Bio Bimbo organic cotton 4ply. Singlet 1 is a stocking-stitch shape with ribbed neck and armhole edging. Singlet 2 is worked in garter stitch with a shoulder opening secured by three snap fasteners.
Skill level and techniques
Confident Beginner. Both singlets are knitted flat with shaping and picked-up edgings. Singlet 2 additionally needs a shoulder opening and three snap fasteners.
Choose your size and style
The kit supplies yarn for one singlet in the selected pattern size, with enough for either style. Each 50 g ball of Bio Bimbo has 180 metres; use one strand. Newborn takes one ball; the 0–3 and 6–9 month kit option takes two; the 12–18 month option takes three. Yarn left over depends on the style.

Yarn and tension
Sesia Bio Bimbo is 100% organic cotton, approximately 180 metres per 50 g ball. K480 was written for Sesia Bimbo 4ply; this kit uses Bio Bimbo as the cotton substitution. Check your tension: 28 stitches and 36 rows to 10 × 10 cm in stocking stitch on 3.25 mm needles. Adjust needle size if necessary.
Tools and contents
You need 2.75 mm and 3.25 mm straight needles, stitch holders and markers. Singlet 2 also requires three snap fasteners. These tools and fasteners are separate from the kit.
- One, two or three balls of Sesia Bio Bimbo organic cotton in the selected shade and size quantity
- Printed Naturally K480 pattern with both singlet styles
- Handmade with Love leather tag
The pieces are worked flat and finished with picked-up neck and armhole edgings. Follow the yarn label for care; reshape after washing.

Frequently asked questions
Does the kit make both singlets?
No. The pattern includes two styles, and the kit supplies enough yarn for one singlet in your selected size and style.
Why is there more yarn supplied for some sizes?
The kit quantity covers the more yarn-intensive option where the two styles differ. For example, the 0–3 month kit supplies 360 metres to cover Singlet 2.
Are snap fasteners included?
No. Singlet 2 needs three snap fasteners, which are separate from the kit.
Which needles do I need?
The pattern uses 2.75 mm and 3.25 mm straight knitting needles. Needles, stitch holders and markers are separate.
Is cotton suitable for this project?
The supplied Sesia Bio Bimbo is a 100% organic cotton 4ply substitution for the original Sesia Bimbo yarn. Check that your washed tension matches the pattern before starting.
