Knitting Pattern – Toddler Romper

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.

When I discovered Kate Atherley’s book Circular Knitting for Beginners and Beyond, I wasn’t sure there was enough to say about circular knitting to fill a book. It’s a pretty short book (144 pages) and includes 10 patterns to practice working in the round on small projects, and it provides a decent introduction to the various ways of working in the round.

The book covers using double pointed knitting needles, flexible double points and circular knitting needles with cables. It talks about working using the full circumference of a circular needle and various ways to work smaller circumference projects, such as using DPNs, magic loop and knitting with two circular knitting needles.

In addition there’s a discussion of preventing problems like twists and ladders, swatching in the round without actually swatching in the round, grafting, blocking and weaving in ends.

More specialized techniques likes knitting from the center out, stranded colorwork, helical knitting and jogless stripes are also explored, as well as working pieces like socks or mitts two at a time.

There’s also some information about seamless sweaters, including the different sweater designs that can be worked seamlessly (and why you might want seams in your sweaters) and how they are worked from the top down or the bottom up.

There are 10 patterns in the book, including a basic stockinette stitch cowl and one with a deliberate twist, wrist warmers, mitts and a pair of colorwork mittens, a hat worked in a solid color or in helical stripes, toe up and top down socks and a beret. It would have been nice to have a basic sweater pattern, too, since the book does talk about working larger garments with circular needles, but it’s still a nice collection of basic patterns worked in the round.

If you’re already comfortable working in the round in different ways, I’m not sure there’s much for you to learn in this book, but it is a good reference for people learning circular knitting or who maybe haven’t tried all the techniques yet or need skill building projects to try.

About the book: 144 pages, paperback, 10 patterns. Published 2026 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $24.99.
