Striped Tights, Teddy Jumper & Beanie – Naturally K3016
A playful 4ply baby set with striped tights, a teddy-detail jumper and a coordinating beanie. Two colours connect the pieces, while the little bear and paw motifs add character.
Construction and pattern facts
The footed tights are worked from the waist down in the round, with a folded elastic casing, short-row shaping, separate legs, heel flaps and shaped toes. The jumper front and back are knitted flat from the bottom up, with three-needle shoulder joins; sleeves are picked up and knitted downwards in rows, then sewn. Its neckband and the beanie are worked in the round. Work plain sections and stripes with one strand at a time; motif colours are worked separately rather than held together.
Sizes and measurements
| Size | Finished tights waist |
|---|---|
| 0–3 months | 38 cm |
| 6 months | 41 cm |
| 9–12 months | 44 cm |
The leaflet gives finished waist measurements for the tights, but no finished jumper chest or beanie circumference. Choose the elastic length to fit the baby comfortably rather than using age alone.
Yarn requirements
Use the original Rosarios 4 Meia 4ply in two colours. The leaflet provides one shared yarn allowance for the three-piece set, without individual project amounts. Metres below are converted using 185 m per 50 g and are approximate.
| Size | Main colour | Contrast colour |
|---|---|---|
| 0–3 months | 370 m | 185 m |
| 6 months | 555 m | 370 m |
| 9–12 months | 555 m | 370 m |
