The body is designed with approximately 3.5”–4.5” of built-in positive ease, creating a soft, easy drape that allows little ones to move freely throughout their day.

This construction method means there is no need for any seaming when the knitting is complete — once you bind off, the garment is ready to wear. Working top-down also allows you to easily customize the length of the body and sleeves as you go, making it a wonderfully flexible knit pattern. The in-the-round design creates a smooth, comfortable fabric with no bulky seams, making The Tot Tee as cozy to wear as it is fun to knit.\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/darlingjadore.com\/skill-level-classifications\/\"\u003eView Skill Classifications.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Darling Jadore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67687661502655,"sku":"DJ-76856","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/7906\/3231\/files\/7FE30473-0D1E-4F79-98BF-C909FE8F4E8B.jpg?v=1792215582","url":"https:\/\/darlingjadore.com\/products\/tottee","provider":"Darling Jadore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
