This sweater is part of the New Guy layette collection from Tot Toppers. New Guy is available as a booklet or an e-book and the patterns are now available individually as well. .

This wrap style kimono top is the perfect way to say, “Hi there baby, I’m so glad you are here.” * It is worked from the top down, seamlessly with raglan style sleeves. Shaping at each front results in a diagonal closure and also gives some extra warmth on the bodice. The chevron colorwork accent does feature a handful of rows of purled stranding and it is recommended that you practice on a swatch first if you’ve never done this type of work. * Alternately, ditch the colorwork and knit this project with a variegated or self-striping yarn to make the project beginner friendly. * Shown in Preemie with the coordinating Wee Hat and adorable Welcome Mocs.
