This snuggly little jumper dress can be made in a range of sizes from birth to 2 years.

Make it as a pinafore dress, without the sleeves, and layer it over a t-shirt or blouse.

The textured ribbed skirt is soft and squishy.

Worked from the neck down, the length is fully adjustable and could even be worked to a shorter length as a top.
