This beautiful pattern creates a cosy, sleeveless baby romper, a matching bobble hat, and adorable booties—a complete set perfect for newborns and infants. The design features a lovely eyelet design and is an excellent choice for a Christening outfit, newborn photoshoot, or a special gift.

Romper Features:
Construction: The romper is knitted in two flat pieces (front and back) from the top (shoulders) down to the legs.

Shaping Technique: To create the unique shaping and volume needed for the legs and nappy area, increases are strategically worked:

Increases are placed down the center line of the front and back pieces to add the necessary volume and width.

Further increases are made down the sides to shape the body and leg openings.

Sleeveless Design: Features simple straps at the shoulders for easy dressing.

Texture: The main body of the romper is worked in a prominent, all-over easy eyelet pattern, creating a rich texture.

Booties Features:
Design: The pattern includes instructions for making the sweet, coordinating baby booties.

Closure: The booties feature a classic ankle design with an opening that is fastened by a twisted cord , allowing them to be securely and neatly laced up.

Matching Hat Features:
Style: A classic, close-fitting beanie style with a decorative turn-up brim.

Detail: Topped with an optional, fluffy pom-pom for a sweet finish.

Pattern Details:
Yarn Weight: Specify the required yarn weight (e.g., DK, Worsted, or 8-ply).
