Trousers are seamless, worked top-down in the round. On hips they are decorated with a fantasy pattern and can be fixed on the baby’s body with knitted ties (i-cord). To make them more anatomic and comfortable for the baby, the back part is longer than the front one and is realized in short row technique. To make this pattern easier to follow, sizing instructions are color-coded. This design perfectly completes the jumper “Chocolate wafers”.
