The Little Leaf Onesie is an adorable garment designed to keep little ones warm and stylish. It features a charming leaf pattern on the yoke and an adjustable leg size with two rows of snap buttons, making it a piece that grows with your baby.

The three-button opening at the back makes it easy to put on and take off and provides extra room to accommodate a baby’s head.

Sizes:
Preemie, Newborn, 1-3 months, (6-9 months, 12-18 months, 2-3 years). Corresponds to standard height sizes: 40-44 cm, 48-52 cm, 56-62 cm, (68-74 cm, 80-86 cm, 92-98 cm). / 15-17 inches, 19-20.5 inches, 22-24.5 inches, (26-29 inches, 31-34 inches, 36-38.5 inches).

Note: While these sizes are based on standard measures, children’s sizes vary greatly. I tried to design it with an oversized fit according to the age of the child, to allow the garment to fit bigger or smaller kids within that age range, by for example rolling up the cuffs for smaller kids and adjustable size for the legs. I would suggest knitting the size of the age of the kid if you are unable to measure them.
