FAQ

How do I adjust the size for a larger baby?

While this pattern is specifically designed for 6–12 months, you can increase your starting chain by adding more stitches in increments of 4 to create a larger size.

Can I use a different yarn type?

Absolutely! Just make sure that the yarn weight remains similar (DK / 3) to maintain the right dimensions and gauge.

What's the best way to care for my romper?

Hand wash in cold water and lay it flat to dry to maintain the shape and softness of the cotton yarn.
