Uni Suit
Uni Suit is worked from the bottom up in a decorative textured pattern using 1 strand of Merino, Cotton
Merino or Pure Silk.
You start working each leg separately in the round before both legs are joined on the same needle at the
crotch. The back body is shaped with short rows to make room for the diaper. The suit is finished with a
ribbed body and two straps that are shaped with short rows.
