    That's a perfect shape for a newborn as they tend to be very bulky around the waist because of the nappy. I love the buttons

    Another lovely easy one....personally I would make it shorter to come to the waist as I find they need to be fuller below the waist to accommodate all the padding....:) Love your patterns and cant wait to see the variations people make....

      That's why I didn't add buttons all down the front - Caroline. If it is a bit more open there is plenty room for bulky padding. Glad you like it. :)

    Hi there, as per one of the previous comments, I am confused re the YRN (which is usually used on a pearl row). Should it be YON (as per a knit row)?
    Also, why is there a buttonhole on row 3, when there are only 3 buttons at the top of the garment?
    I would really appreciate a response, as I love the pattern and would really like to make it. Thanks

      The pattern is worked from the top down that is why the buttonhole is a the top
