This pattern includes directions for four styles of sunsuit - wrap style with waistband, wrap style without waistband, tank style with waistband and tank style without waistband - in sizes newborn through 3T.

This pattern is designed to work for any weight of yarn and any size of needles that together produce between 4 and 7 stitches per inch in stockinette, giving you the option of using a DK, worsted, aran or bulky weight yarn.

This pattern is an intermediate to advanced level pattern. It is not a great choice for your first knitting project. That said, I am happy to provide assistance as needed and there are good online tutorials for all the skills included.

  • Knit
