Whit's Knits: Toddler Overalls

Can you think about overalls without thinking about Huck Finn? I can't. In order to honor Huck's supremely kicked back attitude, I used Louet's Euroflax Linen for these overalls. The yarn is rustic and unfussy and, most importantly, it's rugged enough to handle a raft ride down a river. Like an old pair of jeans, this linen gets softer and softer the more you wash and wear it.

These overalls are designed to last a long time with a loose and easy fit. They don't bind, scratch, squeeze, rub or do any of the things that toddlers can't stand. Bear seems to have a new swagger when he's wearing them - I swear!

For all toddlers who love an adventure and don't mind getting muddy! For full pattern instructions, please visit our Toddler Overalls Project Journal. Thanks! - Whitney

I love those, they're adorable! Especially because I'm actually reading Huck Finn right now.

These look perfect for those independent-minded and curious toddlers! Nothing will stop their great adventures in gear like this. I like the reminiscences of Huck Finn. We should just call overalls that - Huck Finns!

Wow! I have an 18-month-old girl and we call her Huck Finn because she never leaves on her socks and shoes and she is the intrepid explorer in our garden. I completely wrote off making her anything for summer because she is constantly climbing, digging and on her knees that I thought anything would be destroyed. This linen is really robust? And very washable?

I love this and would like to make it for my grandchild but for some reason I can't print it in a regular format. It comes out in 31 pages each with only one column. Can anyone help? thanks, gilda

Those are adorable. My God-niece is expecting a little one in the spring and I am searching for patterns and ideas. Looks comfortable and would be adorable in any color, yellow, green, denim blue or any shade of pink. *:)
