The Nawara Onesie is knit seamlessly top-down, first by working flat to create the bow opening and then joined in the round after the raglan increases. There are German short-rows added at the lower back to create extra space, and a full tutorial is available to guide you through this process. The short sleeves are knit using the magic loop method, with an I-cord bind-off that matches the body. The final touch will be knitting an I-cord to tie a bow at the back of the onesie.

There is a full YouTube tutorial that I have created to show the onesie knit step-by-step: https://youtu.be/q7xyIWQzMS4
