Roxy Romper & Roxy Dress Knitting Pattern by Knitting for Olive - Digital Download

A distinctive square neck and square yoke dotted with bobbles gives our versatile Roxy design - a Romper in 4 sizes and a Dress in 6 sizes, complete with sleeveless and with-sleeves options, all in one pattern - a unique look.

Top-down and seamless, the Roxy Romper and Dress feature a yoke worked back and forth to the beginning of the armhole to create a back opening fastened with a crocheted button loop. The piece is then worked in the round, and you can either choose to make a dress or a romper, with or without sleeves. Body shaping, both in the dress version and the romper, gives the garment a full silhouette. The romper is further shaped with short- rows and crotch flaps with button closure to allow for diaper use as well as diaper change. The sleeve option gives our Roxy design an even more special look and, breaking away from the stocking stitch pattern of the body, features sleeves worked in reverse stockinette.

Yoke pattern is charted only.
