Baby will stay cozy at night or naptime in this snuggly sleeper. The wide opening bib front allows for easy dressing, and the button closure at the bottom gives access for diaper changes.

This piece has a lot of stockinette stitch, but there are some fun little cable details along the bib front and and tops of the sleeves.

The bib front is shaped with a combination of short-rows and increases then set aside while you work the back and sleeves. The front is then joined and you work in the round to the bottom before returning to the sleeves to work then down to the cuff.
