Margot Baby Romper

Margot is a classic baby romper worked in fine cotton yarn, with a Plumeti (Swiss dot) stitch pattern, soft pleats and delicate scalloped edging. The Plumeti stitch pattern creates small raised dots inspired by traditional Swiss dot fabric. The body is gathered with pleats to create a soft, full shape, while the neckline is finished with a fine crochet edging in contrasting pearl cotton. The romper is worked flat in pieces from the crotch up. The front and back are shaped to form the leg openings, and the sleeves are set in and seamed after knitting. The back features a button opening. **Size**: 1–3 months **Finished chest**: 42 cm / 16½ in **Length**, shoulder to crotch: 30 cm / 11¾ in **Ease**: approx. 2 cm / ¾ in **Yarn**: 75 g / 300 m (328 yds) light fingering cotton, DMC Petra No. 5 or similar, plus a small amount of white pearl cotton for the crochet edging. **Needles**: 2.5 mm / US 1½ and 2.5 mm / US 1½ DPNs **Hook**: 2 mm **Notions**: 7 small buttons and tapestry needle **Skill level**: Intermediate.
