Moby Slipover Mini Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
📬 Printed Booklet (Posted to You)
Moby Slipover Mini
The Moby Slipover Mini is worked seamlessly from the top down, featuring the same beautifully textured stitch pattern as the adult version in a comfortable children's design. Perfect for layering over shirts and dresses, it is a timeless wardrobe staple for little ones.
The back is worked flat first. Stitches are then picked up along the cast-on edge to work the shoulders, which are joined at the front to form the front piece. The front and back are then joined under the armholes before the body is worked in the round. Ribbed edges are added around the neckline and armholes for a polished finish.
The seamless construction creates a comfortable fit with very little 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.
