This sweet design is very popular. 

 

I originally wrote this pattern for a new baby called Rosie.

 

Her mum had lots of newborn baby clothes and asked for a bigger size - so I made it to fit a 6 - 9 months baby -

 

Rosie is now fast approaching 2 years old! Where does the time go ......?

 

The original pattern used chunky yarn - you will find the link here ~

Slip stitch to opposite side - break off yarn - finish off - darn away ends

Add a pretty flower motif

 

* * * * *

 

 

If you can't get your head around working the first round along both sides of the foundation chain, don't worry !! It took me a few times of trying before I understood how to do this.......... I am a knitter first, and a crocheter second!

 

 

There is another way ~  Method 2

 

(Work in rounds - making a tube and then sew the bottom edge. Leave a long 'tail' to use for sewing up)  

 

 

Make a foundation chain of 20 sts

 

 

Join with a slip stitch

 



Round 1:   1tc in third chain from hook, 2tc in every second stitch along chain (20sts)





 

Join with a slip stitch

 

Round 2:   chain 3 and make 1tc into the first 2-stitch group, 2tc in each 2-stitch group all around. (20sts).  Join with a slip stitch

 

 



Repeat round 2 four more times

 

Make the handle - chain 20sts

 

 

 

Slip stitch to opposite side - break off yarn - finish off

 

 

Now sew the bottom edge closed using the 'tail of yarn

Darn away ends

Add a pretty flower motif 

* * * * *

 

 

 

Flower:

Chain 3, join with a slip stitch into a ring

Round 1: ch2, make 11tc into ring, slip stitch to join (12sts)

Round 2: ch2, 4tc into same stitch, slip stitch into next stitch, 5tc into next stitch, slip stitch into next stitch, continue around (there should be 6 petals)

The school year is almost at an end -

only a couple of weeks to go until school is out for summer ........

At each end of year, I like to make simple but practical teacher gifts.

 

Often I give bookmarks ...... and this year I have been making these ...... with a big button and beads ........

 

 

 

If you prefer, you can make these with a crochet flower instead of a large button

 

 

 

Simple and easy ........

 

 

 

Start with a big bright button ( or crochet flower ) ........

 

add a crochet chain .......... of around 12" ........

 

thread on 7 beads ........

 

tie a knot at the bottom ........

 

that's it !!!

Top Down Romper Suit - Marianna / Lisa King Maclean

Small / Early Newborn

This adorable little romper suit was knitted by Lisa King Maclean Lisa altered my original all-in-one baby top pattern to make this cute little romper. I love it! Clever lady .......

DK yarn

4mm needles

All-in-One Baby Top – as a Romper Suit         

For an early or small newborn baby

Yarn  –  any DK  (tension 22sts over 4”/10cm)    
           

Needles  – 4mm throughout

Small buttons

Worked from the neck downwards           
                       
                       

Tips:

                  

      ·Cast off loosely on row25 for the cap sleeves – if you find this difficult – use a larger needle

      ·m1 (make 1) on row27 – 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

                         

Cast on 57sts

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.
