The Petite bodysuit is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. First, work the neckband, then shape the back part with short rows for a better fit. Work the raglan in back-and-forth rows and in the round, separate the sleeve stitches, work the body, front gusset, back gusset and leg edges. The sleeves are worked last.
