This chunky yet feminine newborn romper is designed in top-down raglan style, beginning in flat rows, then joining to finish in the round. It features decorative lace work around the yoke for beautiful texture. Extra shaping is added to the sleeves and bottom for a superior tapered fit.

The matching bonnet is knitted flat and finished in the round.

Cable needles were used throughout. To keep edges clean, be sure to slip the first stitch, purlwise, and continue your row as instructed. Links to tutorials for the exact processes used can be found at the end of the pattern. Happy knitting!
