Miss Orchid Romper is knitted top down, starting with the back yoke knitted back and forth till it’s finished. After that stitches are picked up across the shoulders to form the front yoke, then the body piece is worked back and forth till waist. Neck edging is then done, followed by buttonhole/ button bands, then the bottom piece of the romper is knitted, and finally finished with decorative straps at the waist that are tied into a cute bow.

Please note that any change in gauge or switching to yarn of different composition might not give you the same finished measurements or finished look.
