A very quick project - and - No Sewing Up!
I have been knitting these cute little baby tops & thought you might like to make them too.
They are very quick to complete .....
..... and are a perfect little gift for a newborn baby.

Early / Small Newborn Sleeveless Matinee Top
All-in-One Baby Top
For an early or small newborn baby
Yarn – any DK (tension 22sts over 4”/10cm) - requires
42g
Needles – 4mm throughout
(UK old No.8)
Requires 2 small buttons
Worked from the neck downwards
Tips:
Cast off loosely on row 25 for
the cap sleeves – if you find this difficult – use a larger needle
m1 (make 1) on row 27 –
some knitters pick up the bar of yarn from the previous row – I do this by
knitting into the front & back of a stitch– either way will be OK
yfwd – yarn forward seems to be a
very UK term – you may know this as yo (yarn over) or yrn (yarn round needle).
This makes the buttonholes and also the little eyelet holes on the yoke
Cast on 57sts
