Birthday Suit Knitting Pattern

$14.00

Its our birthdayyyy!!!

The Birthday Suit Tee is a top-down raglan tee that is worked in the round. It is knit in one main piece, and then the arm holes are created by separating them from the front and back onto scrap pieces of yarn to hold the stitches. The sleeves are worked in the round by picking up stitches that were previously set aside. 

The Birthday Suit Mini Skirt is a top down project that is worked in the round. It begins with the option for a crochet cast on or long tail cast on. This gives the opportunity to either enclose the elastic waistband in the beginning of the process or later once the garment is complete. There are increases after the waistband portion to create a slightly A-Line shape to the skirt.
