PDF Top Down Bolero Knitting Pattern Bundle

Baby to 7 Years – Minimal Sewing

Manually emailed top down bolero knitting pattern bundle including both the baby sizes (premature to 0–3 months) and the larger child sizes (1–7 years).

Both patterns are worked from the top down, meaning minimal sewing is required. Each size includes full individual instructions, with options for contrasting colours.

This bundle is ideal if you love knitting coordinated designs across different age groups, from tiny premature babies through to children aged 7 years.

Patterns include:

• Top-down bolero design

• Button fastening

• Option to use two colours

• Minimal finishing

This listing is for a PDF knitting pattern bundle only, not finished garments.
Instructions are manually emailed after purchase.
