I haven’t steam blocked it yet, but it’s so cute!

A friend had posted a picture of her baby boy in this outfit, so of course I had to see if I could find a replica pattern. Surprise, Misha and Puff sells the pattern on their website! So smart.

The pattern itself is pretty darn easy to follow. I casted on one afternoon and finished seaming in ends the following morning. I didn’t really NEED the break from winter-season knitting, but I hadn’t knit our baby girl something yet (she’s due to arrive February!), so I was motivated. :)

There are a couple things I have noted to do differently next time.

• I’ll mark the center stitches for front and back upon casting on, that way I don’t have to find them later.

• When binding off stitches for the leg openings, I’ll hold an extra piece of string or yarn in another color, so that I can see those exact stitches a little better when picking them back up. Not a big deal at all, just something I like to do.

• When doing the straps, I think I’ll slip the last stitch as opposed to the first. Just a personal preference as I usually slip the last when I’m knitting flat, and I kept wanting to do that when I was knitting these straps.

I have a couple ideas for personal changes too, depending on who I’m knitting for.

• Legs: Ribbed legs are cute. Could try something fancy like Picot Bind Off at edge or even a Feather-and-Fan type pattern.

• Bib: Can incorporate any knit/purl pattern, geometric shapes, the shape of an animal, a letter, whatever here! Really customizable area.

• Straps: If I change the bib, the straps can be whatever I want - Garter, Moss Stitch, etc.

I can’t wait to try this pattern again with different fabrics, colors, and sizes! This one is a 0-6 month size and I imagine I’ll pair it with warmer clothes - leggings and a long sleeved onesie. I’m definitely going to make her a larger one for summer, maybe in a bamboo cotton blend.

The only thing I wish I could change it making the bottom with snaps so it could be easily opened for diaper changes. As of right now I can’t figure out how I’d do that.
