This romper is perfect for infants from newborn through the toddler years.  The bust of this romper offers full coverage while the body has an open, airy quality that will help keep baby cool in these hot summer months. I kinda want one too! 😉

I love how inexpensive this romper is to make. Depending on size, you may only need one skein of cotton yarn! Use cotton to keep the romper nice and airy – and durable. You could substitute a cotton blend but I would not use 100% acrylic.

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.

    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.

      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!

      Hi Erin! I would do the newborn pattern and go down hook sizes. Hope this helps!
