Stockholm Slipover Mini - Petite Knit

A little slipover with a lot of polish. The Stockholm Slipover Mini by PetiteKnit is a top-down children's knit with short-row shoulder shaping for a beautifully tailored fit — the kind of detail that sets a handmade piece apart. Ribbed neck and armhole edges are finished with an Italian bind-off for a clean, professional result that looks as good as it feels.

Sized for 1–7 years, this is a versatile layering piece that works over a long-sleeve tee in winter or on its own in warmer months. Knit your swatch and pay particular attention to shoulder gauge — it makes all the difference to the fit.
