Rugby Romper
Lion Brand® Babysoft®
GAUGE: 22 sts + 30 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) on larger needles. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES: Because leg-to-crotch length and crotch-to-underarm length can vary from baby to baby, measure and adjust lengths as necessary.

I made this sweet romper but rather than stripes I used peach DK for the main part and cream DK for the wrist cuffs, placket and collar. If I had thought of it before I would have used it on the ankle cuffs too!
I finished it with shaped buttons (teddy, duck, bunny) in peach and in the 3-6 month size.
It looked quite large when made but the baby it was made for was premature so anything would look gigantic!
Lovely easy pattern with great results.
I gave this as a gift and was proud as punch with my efforts.
