The Daefi Playsuit is knit top down, first knit flat to create the button band down the front, and then joined in the round before knitting the legs followed by the sleeves, using the magic loop technique. It is knit in an all over two by two ribbed patterning, with short rows at the back of the neck and the lower back. There is a full YouTube tutorial provided below for step-by-step support.
