All-in-One Lazy Daisy Premature Baby Dress                Small Premature

Small Premature Baby Top   ~  Width 11",   Length  8" 

DK yarn

4mm needles

2 small buttons

This little baby top is knitted top-down

Tips:

        ·    Cast off loosely on row 26 for the cap sleeves – if you find this difficult – use a larger needle                            

        ·    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
