An adorable onesie for a 3-month or 6-month baby in double knitting.

I love the neat ripple stitch that Lucy from Attic24 uses on of her patterns and I really wanted to do a stripy baby romper, so I’ve combined the 2 in this cute baggy pattern (with plenty of nappy room). The opening extends down both legs to help with changing. I hate sewing up at the end of a project, so I always try to avoid seams. This design has no sewing apart from adding the buttons.

The ripple effect shows up best with a variegated yarn or in stripes. I love the colour patterning that comes out of the Baby Blossom DK by Hayfield and highly recommend it, especially with a white yarn for the yoke, cuffs & edging. This combination only needs one 100g ball of the variegated yarn for the 3 month size. I have also worked it using Innocence Bamboo Rich DK by James C Brett in stripes of pastel rainbow colours – more ends to sew in but who doesn’t love a rainbow? Working the pattern in one colour would be a more subtle effect.

Thank you for considering the Baby Ripple Onesie pattern and I hope the baby who gets this will get lots of snuggles in it. If you have any questions or comments, they are welcome – email me at grannylawlorcrafts@gmail.com
