The Seaside Set is a charming two-piece baby knit comprising a striped sweater and coordinating solid-colour pants - a complete little outfit worked from the top down in classic stockinette stitch.
The yoke begins by working back and forth on a circular needle, shaping the front plackets along the left front raglan as you go. Once the plackets are complete, the yoke continues seamlessly in the round. Raglan increases shape the body beautifully from the top, and the finished sweater features a sweet striped design with button plackets.
Worked from the top down in a single solid colour, the pants include short rows at the back for a shaped, comfortable fit. A folded hem with elastic at the waistband keeps everything snug and secure.
