Marianna's All-in-One Sleeveless Toddler Top

My All-in-One Baby Top has been very popular over time  ~
and you all seem to love it and want it in bigger sizes too.
 
I previously added 2 bigger sizes for Age 1-3   &   Age 4-6, 

However ........ over time I thought I could improve the pattern, so I have re-written it, and the Age 1 - 3 is now Age 2 - 3 years. 
I have given it a tighter neckline and I think the pattern is a better fit overall.

  13. Hi Marianna I wonder if you could help me please. I am part of a group who knit for a children Orphanage out in South Africa and we love your All-in-One Top and do this for the prem/newborn babies all the time. What I was wondering is if you could adapt your pattern to include sleeves. The sleeveless top is perfect for the summer months but the winter months get very very cold and having some sleeves would really help to keep the babies warm. I hope you can help. Many Thanks. Chris

    Others have asked for this too - and I am planning to include a version with sleeves in a couple of weeks.
    Best Wishes and Happy Knitting. M

  17. Dear Marianna,
    Thank you so much for these beautiful patterns ☺ I've just completed a small top and hat for my new grandchild expected in Jan '16. It looks lovely and I'm now attempting one for big sister aged 4yrs (not to leave her out)
    I'm terminally ill and find knitting very relaxing and satisfying, I hope to start using your pattern for our local premature baby charity in the New Year, God willing, again thank you, you've given me a purpose and joy ☺

  18. Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful pattern. I started making one this afternoon for my daughter and I love the easy to follow instructions and the fact that I don't have to size up or down with my needles and that it's knit all in one piece.

  19. I so love this pattern for children. Any chance you will come out with a pattern for adult sizes? My adult Daughter and myself would love one. Thank you for all that you do <3

  21. Beautiful patterns & photography! I love how you take care to use cute little hangers & cute little buttons for your designs. Also, like how you took the time to mark down the number stitches on Increase rows. Thank for for sharing your patterns with us & taking the time to create larger sizes.

  22. Hello from New Zealand
    Used unicorn coloured dyed NZ wool and looks lovely. Knitted the 1 to 3year old pattern. Worked a treat. For our cold winter nights makes a great vest for toddler over pjs. Thankyou love the quick easy pattern.
