SYLVIE'S ROMPER

Sylvie's Romper is worked from top to bottom in stockinette stitch. First, the front and back of the yoke are worked separately with raglan increases. Then they are picked up onto circular needles, and the body is knitted in the round. The leg openings are finished separately using short rows, and the entire romper is finished with a knitted i-cord edge. The straps are also worked in i-cord. There's an option to extend the straps so you can tie a bow on the shoulders. There are a few threads to weave in; I recommend weaving these in while knitting to avoid too much piling up at the end.
