• Maintain consistent tension while working.
• Mark the beginning of rounds with a stitch marker for accuracy.
• Create a gauge swatch beforehand to ensure proper sizing.

• Gauge: 22 stitches x 24 rows = 4” in Single Crochet (SC).
• Finished Dimensions: Designed to fit newborns up to 6 months (approximately 16” chest circumference); adjust row counts for larger sizes.

Special Techniques: Focus on seamless joins for a professional look. Gauge swatch is recommended to match pattern sizing.

CH 50 (adjust to fit chest circumference). Work SC across foundation chain.

Rows 2–16: Work SC across with turning after each row. For texture, alternate rows of HDC and SC starting from Row 17.

Divide your work in half and mark each side. For each leg, SC around the opening to create a clean edge.

Attach yarn to top edge, CH 1. Row 1: Work SC evenly across. Continue for 6 rows, shaping neck by decreasing 1 stitch at the start of every row.

Repeat same steps as front panel without neck shaping.

CH 30 for each strap. Attach to back panel with SL ST.

Sew buttons to front panel straps; adjust button positions for tightness.

Work SL ST around all edges for a polished look.

• Weave in loose ends using a yarn needle.
• Steam block the romper for perfect structure and neatness.
