Kids Linen Crossback Apron

The Kids Linen Crossback Apron is a practical, comfortable apron for children, designed with japanese-style crossback straps that slip on over the head with no ties and no buttons to fasten. Without closures to adjust, it is easy for little ones to put on by themselves, which makes it a welcome layer for cooking in the kitchen, painting at the table, and all kinds of creative crafts.

Linen is the natural choice here, from lightweight handkerchief weights to sturdier mid-weight linen that softens with every wash. Linen blends and washed linen-cotton also work well and keep the apron breathable for everyday wear at home, at daycare, or in a craft class. Make one in a plain shade for messy projects and another in a print for baking days.

Sizes run from 6M to 12Y (6M, 9M, 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y, 7Y, 8Y, 10Y, 12Y). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on US Letter paper, and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
