The Aster Baby Bloomers are worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning with a hollow waistband worked in the round. The body is then worked in the round in a textured pattern. The stitches are then divided into the front and back sections, which are worked separately back and forth in rows. The front and back sections are then joined at the bottom using the Kitchener stitch.
