Lace Romper
This darling lace romper with a halter neck is so pretty, and perfect for newborn photos, especially when teamed with the lovely bonnet. You have three lace options to choose from, all charted AND written out in full.
The trends are moving towards finer knits in newborn photography, this romper has instructions for sport, DK and worsted yarn, you can use a finer fluffy yarn if desired to get the lacey open look…just be sure to get match the gauge.
Please ensure your garment complies with the safety suggestions in the e-book, particularly if the garment is for everyday wear.
Patterns suitable for intermediate knitters who can confidently read a pattern and work in the round. All lace patterns are written and charted.
