Seaside Set Knit Kit — PetiteKnit Baby Sweater & Pants
Create a timeless handmade outfit for a little one with the Seaside Set Knit Kit, a beautifully classic baby knitting kit featuring a striped raglan sweater and matching pants. Designed by PetiteKnit, this sweet set has a clean Scandinavian feel, with practical details that make it both charming and wearable.
Knitted in Sandnes Garn Sunday 4ply, a soft, lightweight 100% merino wool yarn, the Seaside Set is gentle against delicate skin while offering warmth, breathability, and beautiful stitch definition. The sweater is worked in stripes with a buttoned front placket, while the pants are knitted in a solid colour with a folded waistband and elastic for comfort.
Perfect as a thoughtful baby gift, heirloom knit, or special handmade outfit, this kit is a lovely project for knitters who enjoy fine yarn, neat finishing, and classic babywear.
About the Seaside Set
The Seaside Set includes instructions for both a baby sweater and pants. The sweater is worked from the top down in stocking stitch with raglan increases. The first section of the yoke is worked back and forth to form the front plackets, before being joined in the round. The pants are worked from the top down, with short rows at the back for a comfortable fit and a folded waistband for elastic.
The finished result is a soft, beautifully coordinated baby outfit that is practical enough for everyday wear and special enough to treasure.
Why knit the Seaside Set?
The Seaside Set Knit Kit is a beautiful choice for knitters wanting to make a complete baby outfit in premium merino yarn. The striped sweater adds a playful nautical touch, while the simple pants balance the look with everyday practicality.
Sandnes Garn Sunday is a natural match for this pattern. It is a non-superwash 100% merino wool yarn with approx. 235 m per 50 g ball, designed for delicate, lightweight knits and often used in PetiteKnit designs. It is soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and insulating, making it especially suitable for baby garments.
