The Stockholm Slipover Mini by PetiteKnit is a polished, timeless little layering vest that brings effortless Scandinavian style to toddlers and young kids. Featuring tailored, sloping shoulders, neat ribbed trims, and a cloud-soft wool and silk mohair fabric, it layers effortlessly over collared shirts, tees, or dresses for both everyday play and dressed-up occasions.

Please note: This is a knitting pattern only. Yarn, needles, and extra notions must be purchased separately.

Pattern Overview

Skill Level: 3 out of 5 (Intermediate)
Size Range: 1–2 years to 6–7 years
Construction: You’ll work this slipover seamlessly from the top down in stockinette stitch. First, the back yoke is worked flat with short rows to shape natural, slanting shoulders for a great fit, followed by the front shoulders and front yoke. Once the front and back are joined at the underarms, the body is worked straight down in the round. Finally, neat ribbed edges are picked up and knitted along the armholes and neckline, with all edges finished using a clean, stretchy Italian bind-off.

Sizing & Fit Guide

This slipover is designed with comfortable layering room so it sits neatly over shirts and tops without feeling bulky. Before you cast on, check the finished garment measurements below against a well-fitting vest or sweater the child already owns to pick the best size.

Size	Finished Chest Circumference (cm)	Back Width incl. Rib Edges (cm)	Armhole Depth (cm)	Total Length (cm)
1–2 years	59	22	13.5	34
2–3 years	61	22	14.5	36
3–4 years	63	23	14.5	37
4–5 years	65.5	25	15	38
5–6 years	67.5	26	16.5	40
6–7 years	69.5	27	16.5	41

(Note: Total length is measured down the centre back including the neck edge.)

Gauge & Suggested Tools

Gauge: 19 sts x 27 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch on 4.5 mm needles.
Circular Needles: 4.5 mm (60 cm) & 3.5 mm (40 cm and 60 cm).

Yarn & Materials Chart

This slipover is knitted by holding two strands together: one strand of light fingering / 4-ply merino wool (approx. 235 m per 50 g) paired with one strand of lace-weight silk mohair (approx. 212 m per 25 g).

Size	Fingering Wool Weight (g)	Fingering Wool Estimated Meters	Silk Mohair Weight (g)	Silk Mohair Estimated Meters
1–2 years	50 g	235 m	25 g	212 m
2–3 years	50 g	235 m	25–50 g	212–424 m
3–4 years	100 g	470 m	50 g	424 m
4–5 years	100 g	470 m	50 g	424 m
5–6 years	100 g	470 m	50 g	424 m
6–7 years	100 g	470 m	50 g	424 m

Note: Meter figures are calculated directly from the pattern’s recommended yarn weights (based on 235 m per 50 g for fingering wool and 212 m per 25 g for silk mohair) and represent designer estimates rather than exact consumption. Always buy full balls and consider grabbing an extra ball if you plan to swatch generously or add length for growing room.

Crucial Swatching Tip

Take a little time to knit, wash, and block a stockinette swatch with both strands held together before casting on! Hitting that 19-stitch by 27-row gauge is especially important for getting the tailored shoulder slope and fit just right. Adjust your needle size up or down if your stitch count is slightly off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any seams to sew at the end? Zero seaming required. The shoulders, body, and ribbed neckline and armhole trims are all worked seamlessly from the top down—once you finish the bind-offs, your only job is weaving in your yarn ends.
Do I need double-pointed needles for the armholes or neckline? Not at all! The ribbed armhole and neckband edges are worked using a short 40 cm circular needle, so no DPNs are needed.
What if I’m not confident with an Italian bind-off? While an Italian bind-off gives the ribbing a super neat, factory-finished look with extra stretch, you can always substitute a standard stretchy bind-off in pattern if you prefer.
