Sille Slipover Mini Knitting Kit – PetiteKnit x Sandnes Garn Double Sunday

Create a beautifully textured handmade layer for little ones with the Sille Slipover Mini Knitting Kit. Designed by PetiteKnit, the Sille Slipover Mini is a charming children’s knitted vest with a refined knit-and-purl structure, neat ribbed edges and an easy-to-layer shape.

This curated mini knitting kit includes the printed PetiteKnit pattern, Sandnes Garn Double Sunday in your chosen colour, and stitch holder cords — with the number of yarn balls included according to your selected size.

Knitted from the top down, the Sille Slipover Mini is a rewarding children’s garment project with lovely construction details. It is perfect for layering over shirts, dresses, long sleeves and lightweight knits, making it a practical and beautiful handmade piece for everyday wear.

The beige Sille Slipover Mini is knitted in Double Sunday by Sandnes Garn in the color Cardamom [3821].

About the Sille Slipover Mini

The Sille Slipover Mini is worked from the top down in a knit and purl structure pattern. First the back yoke is worked, followed by the shoulders and front yoke, which are worked flat. The front and back yoke are then joined, and the body is worked in the round. Finally, rib edges are worked along the neck and armhole openings.

The textured stitch pattern gives the finished slipover a timeless, crafted look, while the sleeveless shape makes it comfortable, versatile and ideal for layering through the seasons.

Yarn Included: Sandnes Garn Double Sunday

This kit uses Sandnes Garn Double Sunday, a soft and versatile 100% non-superwash merino wool yarn. Double Sunday is an 8ply / DK-weight yarn with approximately 108m per 50g ball.

For the Sille Slipover Mini, Double Sunday is knitted using one strand. The yarn gives clear stitch definition, making it a beautiful choice for the knit-and-purl texture of this PetiteKnit design.
