Knitting For Olive | Holly Romper Pattern & Yarn Pack
A Heirloom Romper Full of Whimsy and Detail
The Holly Romper is a vintage-inspired delight, showcasing a charming lace motif throughout and a sculpted upper body accented by a decorative welt. The gently puffed shape of the lower romper is created by clever shaping and I-cord finishes, making it as adorable as it is comfortable.
Knit using a single strand of Merino, this piece is both soft and breathable, perfect for sensitive baby skin. The design is worked from the bottom up, beginning with flat-knit crotch pieces before transitioning to in-the-round construction for the body. Sleeves begin with a sweet, folded bell edge and are seamlessly joined at the yoke, which is shaped with tidy raglan decreases.
Delicate I-cord trims finish off the neckline and leg openings, while thoughtful fastenings—including a buttoned shoulder opening and functional crotch buttons—make dressing and nappy changes a breeze. A beautiful project for baby showers, keepsakes, or simply dressing up your little one in style!
