Knitting instructions Emma's Suit
Emma's baby suit is worked top down in stockinette stitch. A row of purl stitches adorns the neckline and a button placket along the left raglan line ensures easy 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 knit on the button placket.
