About Harlow Romper
Harlow romper is worked seamlessly from top down with raglan increases that shape the yoke. The work is then divided between body and sleeves. A few short rows in the back help add extra fabric to accommodate diaper. Romper is finished with a button band at the end. Optional ruffles can be added for a feminine touch.
