This sporty outfit is suitable for baby girls and baby boys. It is designed to fit 4-5 months and 6-8 months. It requires intermediate skills. Garments are made with sports weight yarn using size F and size E hooks. The pattern is written American style (no charts) with numerous photos for clarity and reference.

The file includes instructions for bubble overalls, a cropped jacket, Dutch boy cap, boy’s shoes, girl’s Mary Janes, a pumpkin applique, and a penguin applique.

The bubble overalls feature a bib and straps that rise at the waist in the back and fasten in the front. The ankle cuffs include decorative button tabs with an option for simple cuffs without buttons. (Approximately 475 yards for the overalls).

For a fall outfit, crafters may add a pumpkin applique to the overalls bib. For a winter look, use the penguin applique pattern.

The cropped jacket buttons in the front. Crafters may choose to add the decorative button tabs at the wrist to match the bubble overalls or choose simple cuffs without buttons. (Approximately 275 yards for this garment.)

The Dutch Boy Cap with a visor and crown that balloons out around the head to compliment the look of the bubble overalls adds a lot of charm to the outfit. (Approximately 180 yards)

The pattern offers two styles of shoes: Mary Janes for girls or a cuffed shoe for boys. Both styles fasten with button loops and buttons. (Approximately 75 yards)

Instructions for two special techniques used in the sample garments are included in the last 4 pages of the file.
