Knitting pattern Emma's Suit
Emma's baby suit is worked top down in stockinette stitch. A row of purl stitches decorates the neckline and a button placket along the left raglan line ensures comfortable dressing. The neck opening is worked back and forth before the piece is joined in the round to complete the yoke, body and sleeves. The legs are worked back and forth. At the end, stitches are worked out of the edge of the leg opening to knit on the button placket.
