Helen's Sunsuit
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.

See mhaddon’s sunsuit for how to add snaps instead of buttons for the linen stitch closure.
