You then continue in rounds until your piece gets to your belly button.

The shorts are then made and joined to the top.

For the top:

Make the top following your bust measurement.

Use your hip measurements for the shorts; it’s okay if the size differs from your tops.

How To Crochet Adult Romper

Romper Top

Section 1: Make 2

Front Panel

Row 1: Chain 12, 2 dc in 3rd ch from hook, *skip 2 chs, sc in next ch, 2 dc in same ch, repeat from * until the last 3 chs, sc in last ch, turn. 6 dc, 3 sc

Row 2: Ch 2 (does not count as a stitch, here and throughout), 2 dc in first sc below, *skip next 2 dc, (sc, 2 dc) in next sc, repeat from * across row, sc in last st, turn. 6 dc, 3 sc

Rows 3 – 10 (10, 12, 12, 8, 6, 6, 6, 4): Rep row 2

Plus size row numbering is not off, it’s to create a fitting neckline that is not too wide.

Shaping for the Neckline

Row 1: Ch 2, (2 dc, sc, 2 dc) in first sc, *skip next 2 dc, (sc, 2 dc) in next sc. Repeat from * across the row, sc in last st, turn. 8 dc, 4 sc

Row 2: Ch 2, 2 dc in first sc below, *skip next 2 dc, (sc, 2 dc) in next sc, repeat from * across row, sc in last st, turn. 8 dc, 4 sc

Rows 3 – 8 (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24): Rep Rows 1 – 2.

Row 9 (11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25): Rep Row 1

Counts after the last row:

14 (16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) dc,

7 (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) sc

Fasten off.

Back Panel

Check fit: Neckline depth.

Check the neckline length of your piece.

If you prefer it extends more, add more rows before shaping the neckline below.

For a shorter neckline, reduce the number of rows before neckline shaping.

Join yarn with a sl st to the starting chain in row 1.

The skipped chs from the foundation chs while making the front panel will be used for the next row.

Row 1: Ch 2, 2 dc in same st, *skip next 2 sts, sc in next ch-sp, 2 dc in same ch-sp, repeat from * to end of row, sc in final ch st of row, turn.

Row 2: Ch 2, 2 dc in first sc below, *skip next 2 dc, (sc, 2 dc) in next sc, repeat from * across row, sc in turning ch 2 at end of row, turn. 6 dc, 3 sc

Rows 3 – 9 (11, 11, 11, 7, 7, 5, 5, 5): Rep Row 2

If you made adjustments to the strap of front, add the same number of rows on the back panel.

Make sure you have an odd number of rows for the back panel.

Shaping for the Neckline

Ensure the next row (shaping for the neckline) is on the same side as the front panel.

Repeat the neckline shaping as with the front panel.

Do not fasten off.

Adult Crochet Romper Pants Pattern Instruction

Section 1 – Band

Row 1: Chain 11, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, turn. 10 sc

Row 2: Ch 1, sc in first st, sc in BLO across until the last st, sc in both loops, turn. 10 sc

Rows 3 – 54 (60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130): Repeat Row 2.

Or until you have a length loose enough to wrap around your waist: Rep Row 2.

Increase or decrease the number of repeats for a comfortable fit around your waist.

Your piece should measure about Waist: 27 (28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42)”

Fold lengthwise to have the short ends next to each other.

Join the sides with a sl st.

Do not fasten off.

Edging

Note:

The numbers might be different from mine.

Make sure to check the fit of your shorts as you proceed.

Round 1: Ch 1, sc in each st around the panel, join with a sl st to the beginning ch. 54 (60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130) sc

Adjust the numbers so you have a multiple of 2.

Round 2: Ch 4 (counts as hdc + ch 1 sp), *skip next st, hdc in next st, ch 1, rep from * until the end, join with a sl stitch to the 3rd ch from the beginning. 27 (30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65) hdc/ch sps

Fasten off, join yarn with a sl st to the other open end.

Repeat the edging (rounds 1 – 2) on the other end, do not fasten off.

Shorts Construction

No need to turn after each round; the shorts look beautiful when made in rounds instead of turning as we did with the top.

Round 1: Ch 2, 2 dc in same ch sp, *sc in next ch sp, 2 dc in next ch sp, rep from * until the end, join with a sl st to the beginning ch. 14 (15, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, 30, 33) sc/ dc groups

For the prototype, I started a new color from the next round.

Round 2: Ch 2, 2 dc in first sc below, *skip next 2 dc, (sc, 2 dc) in next sc, repeat from * around, sc in last st, join with a sl stitch to the beginning ch 2. 14 (15, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, 30, 33) sc/ dc groups

Rounds 3 – 5: Repeat round 2.

(Increase Round) Round 6: Ch 2, *[(sc, 2 dc, sc, 2 dc) in first sc below, skip next 2 dc, (sc, 2 dc) in next sc], rep [ ] one more time, (2 dc, sc, 2 dc) in next sc repeat from * until the end, join with a sl stitch to the beginning ch 2. 21 (20, 24, 30, 32, 38, 42, 45, 50) sc/ dc groups

Round 7: Ch 2, 2 dc in first sc below, *skip next 2 dc, (sc, 2 dc) in next sc, repeat from * around, sc in last st, join with a sl stitch to the beginning ch 2. 21 (20, 24, 30, 32, 38, 42, 45, 50) sc/ dc groups

Round 8: Repeat round 6. 30 (31, 32, 40, 42, 50, 56, 60, 66) sc/ dc groups

Fit Check

Check the width of the project by measuring the circumference.

If it is too tight, repeat rounds 6 – 7 one or two more times.

Leg Openings

Rounds 9 – 22: Repeat round 7. 30 (31, 32, 40, 42, 50, 56, 60, 66) sc/ dc groups

Repeating until your piece measures 10 (10, 12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14)”

Split for Leg Openings

Place a stitch marker on the 15 (16, 16, 20, 21, 25, 27, 30, 33) sc.

If your count is different from the above, count the number of sc, divide by 2.

Place a stitch marker at the middle (center).

Section 3 – Leg Right

Round 1: Ch 2, 2 dc in first sc below, *skip next 2 dc, (sc, 2 dc) in next sc, repeat from * around the sts left unworked, connect with a sl st to the beginning chain. Leave the remaining stitches unworked.

Rounds 2 – 9: Ch 2, 2 dc in first sc below, *skip next 2 dc, (sc, 2 dc) in next sc, repeat from * around, sc in last st, join with a sl stitch to the beginning ch 2.

Fasten off.

Section 3 – Left Leg

Pass your hook through the right leg’s starting chain and last stitch, and join yarn with a sl st through the two sts. This closes up the gap.

Make a slip stitch to secure the two sts.

Crochet around the sts left unworked while making the right leg.

Round 1: Ch 2, 2 dc in first stitch to your left, skip next st, *(sc, 2 dc) in next sc, skip next 2 dc, repeat from * until the stitch marker, make a slip stitch through the middle of the beginning chain and then join a sl st to the top of the beginning chain.

This last step covers the gap.

Repeat rounds 2 – 9 as with the right leg.

Fasten off.

Joining the Top to the Shorts

Pick up the shorts and the top.

Turn both to the wrong side.

Place the lower end of the top next to the shorts.

The joining is through the mesh row of the top and the last row of the shorts. The shells from the last round of the top cover the joining. This creates a beautiful cover over the joining.

Using either a darning needle or a crochet hook, and either the mattress stitch or the slip stitch, join the upper part of the shorts to the last round of the mesh on the lower end of the top.

Tip for a Perfect Joining

Count the number of stitches on the lower end of the top and the stitches on the last round of the shorts.

If the stitches are more on one side, you can join using 2 stitches on one side and one stitch on the other side to give an even joining. Make sure to even these around.

Fasten off.

Weave in ends.

Block your romper.
