Top Down All-in-One Romper Suits


All-in-One Top Down Romper Suits - so sweet ! 


All-in-One lazy Daisy Romper Suit



All-in-One Lazy Daisy Romper Suit         


Worked from the neck downwards            
                                           
Tips:
                   
      ·Cast off loosely for the cap sleeves – if you find this difficult – use a larger needle

      ·m1 (make 1) – I do this by knitting into the front & back of a stitch – some knitters pick up the bar of yarn from the previous row – either way will be OK
              
      ·yfwd – yarn forward seems to be a very UK term – you may know this as yo (yarn over) or yrn (yarn round needle) - this makes the buttonholes and also the little eyelet holes on the yoke

You can make a romper of any size -
Just follow the instructions for the baby top of the size you want ....... keep knitting until the length is long enough (this might be the difficult bit - but you can probably judge it by eye ....) - then divide the number of stitches you have in half (2 even amounts) - and complete each separately decreasing one stitch at each end of every row for a few rows - then finish with a rib or garter stitch border.

I am happy for you to use my patterns for your own use or for charity donations.  
In addition:  You can gift or sell any finished items you make from my patterns.    

However, please do not copy my patterns

    Hi marrianna
    I've just read through your pattern for the romper and I'm wondering if there's a mistake?
    When you get to - 'Divide for legs', the pattern says 'Work on the first 51sts (put the remaining 51stitches onto a stitch holder)'.
    Further down the pattern says - 'Rejoin yarn to remaining 50sts' .
    There a difference of 1 stitch. Am I right?

      Hope this helps M

    Marianna thank you for this pattern again. Can I ask I don't want to be a pest, I have been trying to get added to your Facebook page for a while now and I don't know if because my name is in Urdu you have blocked me for thinking I may be a spammer? Its just I know via my boss and friends (who use your patterns as I do to donate to the local hospitals) that there are other variations and people with different ideas for your items and also some of their own creations. I don't want to be annoying but I would very much love to be part of your Facebook community. Kathryn :)

    Hi Marrianna, I started your Romper as soon as I saw it. My question, I have not seen a real baby for 37 years, but in the instructions you say to knit body till it measures 11 1/2 ", from the top. This looks sooooo long, Most babies seem to be pretty bunched up around the legs for awhile. Is this lenght really correct?? I trust you if you say yes. Maybe my tape measure is defective. Thanks again for your beautiful patterns, I am hooked on all of them.

      I really hope someone with a real baby knits this and lets us know!! ..........

      I have just looked it up. It says a baby of 1 -3 months measures roughly 9 " from neck to hip.

    Thank you for this lovely little pattern, but I'm a bit stuck: row 25: I have 111 stitches - the instructions read knit 18, cast off 20, knit 34, vast off 20, knit 17 - those stitches equal 109
    I can't see where I've gone wrong? Please can you help?

      Cath the stitch from your last cast off doesn't start your next knit section. The last stitch from your cast off isn't included in the pattern. So basically you knit the 18 stitches and then cast off 20, but you would have 19 stitches on the right needle then you would work your knit 34 stitches etc. I hope that helps

    I made this romper for my niece due in December. It turned out super cute and was really easy!

      hi,Anna Colonese...... if you are making your M1 stitch by KFB you dont k2 m1 ...you k1 then on the 2nd stitch you kfb.....same when it says K3 M1..you KFB on the 3rd stitch....thats how i did it you end up with the correct amount of stitches....to make it a little easier i did the button hole then i counted out 2 stitches 15 times and (30 stitches)and marked them off at the end with a marker,then just K1,KFB until i had completed the 30 stitches....hope ive explained this so you can understand it.. lol..im new too knitting too.

    Hi, I'm new to knitting but have managed to make several of you patterns, you make it so easy to understand so thank you, I would like to know if this pattern could be made with long legs as I'm knitting for a winter baby or do you have such a pattern.
    many thanks

    Hi, I love this pattern, but as I don't have a baby as a model, I am stuck as to how long to make the romper before dividing for the legs. I want to make a three month size. Could anyone help please?
