Knitting instructions Sylvie's Summer Suit
Sylvie's Summer Suit is worked top down in stocking stitch. An i-cord trim adorns the neckline and a neck opening along the left raglan line gives your little one enough headroom when dressing. The neck opening is worked back and forth before closing the piece in the round to finish the yoke, body and sleeves. The legs are worked back and forth. At the end stitches are worked out from the edge of the leg opening to work the double knitted placket. The button placket and the neck opening are finally provided with small snaps.
