The Coloring Book Tee Mini is a raglan pullover for kids aged NB-14Y. An everyday staple, this can be worked up as a tee or as a long sleeve pullover. Either way, this is one to let your creativity run wild with.

Little ones will love how comfortable they are and they’ll love choosing colors for this pattern. Be creative together to work up the sweater of your dreams. With Coloring Book Tee, the adult version of this pattern, you’ll have matching family sweaters for days.

This pattern comes in 2 sizes ranges for NB-18M and 2Y-14Y; both come in their own files for ease of use.

We know from experience how hard it is to get crew neck clothing off of tiny babies, so the NB-18M sizes feature a single button back neck closure to ensure those crew necks fit over their heads easily.

Pattern Details

Yarn Selection

Choose a springy yarn with plenty of recovery. We used a fingering weight, non-superwash yarn here, but this is a flexible pattern, and sport weight could be used.
For an easy-care option, use up leftover sock yarn or single skeins of superwash fingering yarn.
For the tee, consider a summer yarn, such as a cotton/wool blend.
The sample is shown in Knitting For Olive’s Merino in the colorways ‘Plum Rose’ and ‘Snowflake’, in the long sleeve version.
