This is a pattern for a classic bubble romper (or sunsuit) based on the outfits my daughter wore when she was little. It is knit seamlessly, top down, in the round, and gives lots of variations to customize the look and size to fit your preferences. Designed to fit over cloth diapers and be used as a cover if created in wool.

Licensing is included with purchase so there are no limitations on items created from this pattern! Happy knitting!

This pattern includes directions for personalizing your bubble romper and includes sizes for newborn through 24 mo.

The pattern is written for worsted weight wool yarns but suggestions are given to adapt the pattern for other fibers, DK, aran or bulky weight yarn.
