Knitting For Olive | Bean Sprout Romper Pattern & Yarn Pack
A Charming Baby Knit with Delicate Detail
The Bean Sprout Romper is a sweet and relaxed-fit garment featuring a beautifully textured bean sprout motif across the body. Designed with both charm and practicality in mind, it’s an ideal layering piece for little ones and makes a thoughtful handmade gift.
Knit from the bottom up using just one strand of Knitting For Olive Merino, this romper begins by shaping the front and back crotch separately before joining the work in the round. The body is adorned with the signature sprout pattern, creating a soft, organic texture that stands out beautifully in fine Merino yarn.
Sleeves are worked separately in smooth stockinette stitch, then joined to the body before the yoke is shaped with raglan decreases. A subtle keyhole opening at the back neckline adds a lovely finishing touch while making dressing easier.
