This pattern has instructions for a sweet summertime Baby Romper and a Pinafore Dress.

There are instructions for 4 sizes ~ Large Premature/Small Newborn, Newborn, 3 months, and 6 months

Both the romper and pinafore are knitted from the bottom up, in 2 pieces - Front & Back (the shoulder straps are included with the Front for ease) - and then the 2 parts are seamed at the sides only, and the straps joined to the top at the back.

The romper has a 2 or 3 button fastening at the crotch.

I did wonder about adding buttons to the shoulder straps, but decided against them (these would be an easy addition if you prefer).

Each requires ~ between 35g (100metres) and 65g (200 metres) of DK yarn depending on the size made. I made a few in cotton DK and some in acrylic DK - both looked great !

I know that this pattern will be a firm favourite! It is so versatile and adaptable. Why not add stripes? …..or a lacy stitch pattern to the skirt part of the pinafore for extra cuteness?

Perfect for a baby shower gift !

Happy knitting!
