Poppy Tee Junior by PetiteKnit Knitting Kit Pack

We absolutely love a "multi-tasking" knit, and this short-sleeved junior jumper is exactly that. Whether it’s paired with dungarees for a trip to the park or worn over a long-sleeved shirt on a chilly school day, the Poppy Tee Junior is practical, timeless, and effortlessly cool. We’ve paired this PetiteKnit favourite with Sandnes Duo, our "secret weapon" yarn. Because it blends merino wool with pima cotton, it’s soft, breathable, and—vitally for kids—completely non-itchy. It’s a jumper they will actually want to wear!

What really sets this kit apart is the incredible size range. We’ve included enough yarn and the instructions for 13 different sizes, covering ages 1 to 14. It’s one of those rare designs that looks just as sweet on a toddler as it does stylish on a young teen. We’ve selected two of our most-loved colour options for this pack, making it easy for you to pick a shade that will stand the test of time.

Petiteknit has given this kit a 4/5 difficulty rating, so it’s a brilliant choice if you’re looking to sink your teeth into some clever construction. The tee is worked from the top down, starting with a back yoke and moving into some lovely "pick up and knit" shoulder shaping that creates a beautiful, professional finish. You’ll work the body in the round, and then move onto the sleeves using double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique.

The real "cherry on top" is the folded neck edge with built-in double knitting. It gives the tee a really high-end, store-bought look but with all the heart and soul of a handmade garment. While it requires a bit of concentration, the result is a sturdy, well-structured jumper that can handle all the adventures a child can throw at it. It’s authentic, slow-fashion at its very best!

The patterns in this category require that you are an experienced knitter and can keep an overview of a pattern. You may need to keep track of multiple elements at the same time – for example you may need to work a charted pattern while working shaping at the same time. There will be videos that take you through the techniques that are used in the pattern.
