KNITTING PATTERN -- Avonlea Cross Over Top – P146
This sweet little cross over top is worked in one piece from the bottom up with a simple pattern on front and back, adding a special touch. As this top is worked in a thicker yarn it knits up quickly, making it a great last minute ‘Baby Shower’ gift, designed to ensure simple and fuss free dressing. Once complete simply sew up the side seams, attach your button and press stud, and it’s done! Also a great wrap around for a toddler and pre-schooler.
