Moby Slipover Baby Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
📬 Printed Booklet (Posted to You)
Moby Slipover Baby
The Moby Slipover Baby is worked seamlessly from the top down, featuring the same beautiful textured stitch pattern as the adult version in a cosy baby-sized design. Perfect for layering, it makes a warm and timeless addition to any little wardrobe.
The back is worked flat first. Stitches are then picked up along the cast-on edge to form the shoulders, which are joined at the front to create the front piece. The front and back are joined at the underarms before the body is worked in the round. Ribbed edges are then worked around the neckline and armholes for a neat, comfortable finish.
The seamless construction makes for a comfortable fit with minimal finishing required.
Before beginning your project, knit a swatch to ensure you achieve the correct gauge. Wash and block your swatch before measuring, as textured stitch patterns can relax and grow after washing.
