Lay piece flat and evenly space st markers with (13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23) sts in between “front” and “back” straps. If you have extra stitches place them on the underarms.

  1. Thank you, Ashlea, the Romper is very cute and I do plan to make it. I do have a but quick question as the modeled romper appears to have leg lengths where the pattern stops at the bottom of the hip/crotch area and has no leg length portion. How would the lengths for the legs be added? Thank you.
    1. Hi! There are no "leg" lengths added to this pattern. It is essentially a tube that fits from the chest down to below the bottom...there are instructions for gussets (front and back) which will snap closed under the diaper to create leg holes.
  2. Hi. I love this romper. I was terribly confused by the pattern but I think I'm good with the video. It is very simple and so cute. Thank you for sharing it.
  3. Im super confused with the pattern. Then after seeing the video , it makes me confused more. Hahahha. The written pattern said dont join. The video shows its joined. Boom! I scrolled down the comments and it needs to be joined. And im on my row 30
    1. Hi! You will not join for the majority of this pattern, as it states in the notes, unless otherwise noted. You will be instructed to join after making your chain, right before starting the gussets, and after the edging row after making the gussets.
  4. Hi Ashlea. I am making this for my gr-granddaughter. I am confused because rows 1-13 says do not join. The instructions say the join after row 1 is the underarm seam. Where is this join? Did I miss it.
      1. Thank you, I finally realized that and am on row 22. I am making the 24 mo size. My granddaughter doesn’t want snaps so can I just slip stitch the crotch closed? Do I need to subtract any rows or other alterations for doing this. Thank you, this pattern is so cute.
  5. Ashlea, I made the 6-12 mo and love it but diaper was popping out all over. How would I adjust the width of the gusset? I’d like to make it wider to cover diaper more. I’ll be making the 6-12 mo and 12-18 mo.
    1. Hi Tonya! I would either add a few rows to the body (moss stitch rows) which will bring the gusset down lower to sit just below diaper...or you can add to gusset width by doing a couple of increases on the first row of the gusset (front and back). Hope this helps!
