Knitting Pattern – Toddler Romper

by

Introducing the romper in Snuggly 100% Merino 4 ply, design no. 5370, a cozy and adorable option for your little one. As a knitter, I haven’t had the chance to personally knit this pattern yet but I plan to do so soon. From the first glance of the pattern, it looks like a fantastic option for new parents looking for a comfortable, easy-to-care-for, and adorable outfit for their baby.

The romper is made from pure merino wool, which is known for its softness, warmth and moisture-wicking properties. Merino wool is also hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for babies with sensitive skin. The romper features button fastenings below, making it easy to change the baby’s diaper, so they can get right back to cuddles and crawling.

The pattern also includes instructions for cable knitting, which adds a touch of elegance and texture to the romper. The design is suitable for babies aged from birth to two years. The pattern requires 1 pair of 3¼mm (UK10 – US3) Knitting Needles, 1 Pair of 2¾mm (UK12 – US2) Knitting Needles, Stitch Holders and Cable Needle.

Overall, the romper in Snuggly 100% Merino 4 ply, design no. 5370, looks like a fantastic option for new parents looking for a comfortable, easy-to-care-for, and adorable outfit for their baby. The pure merino wool used in the pattern is soft, warm and hypoallergenic making it perfect for babies with sensitive skin. I’m looking forward to knitting this pattern myself and seeing the final product.

A Blanket Knitting Pattern Where Yarn Selection is Everything

Many times when I write these posts I will say something like “you can use any yarn you want” or “this would be a great stash-busting project.” That’s just how my mind works. And my stash, too, since I probably have sweater quantity of two or three yarns at most, but tons of singles and odd balls and leftovers.

Blankets are generally a really good way to use up those bits, but in this case, I think you’re going to want to plan it out a bit better.

Looking at photos of the Color Study Blanket from Purl Soho, it looks like it’s made with two yarns held together, and that block in the center is worked with one of each color from the adjoining sides to make a mixed up color.

But that’s not actually how it’s done. This is three separate colors (four, really, with the neutrals in the corners) chosen form a yarn with an expansive palette so they play off each other. The project calls for a worsted weight superwash wool, which is a great choice for a blanket that’s both warm and washable.

This pattern was originally designed by Laura Ferguson and was updated by Hiromi Glover. It is worked in one piece in garter stitch intarsia, which is a great way to learn the intarsia technique if you don’t already know it. It comes in crib or throw sizes.

Despite the introduction to this post, I am going to go ahead and say that, yes, of course you could do this blanket with scraps or odd balls or even just choose five colors that don’t blend together so easily. But I really do love the look of the color play, and I think it would be worth your time to find colors that play well together to get a similar effect.

This pattern is available for free from Purl Soho.
