BABY DRESS PATTERN
Difficulty level 2.
Size 3-4 months.
Front part
110 sts. 6 rows in garter stitch, then stockinette stitch for 23 cm. Along the 23 cm, decrease 3 sts on each side, distributed. Begin the armhole by knitting 4 garter stitches on each side, then decrease 1 st on each row at the beginning and end, making a total of 10 sts on each side. In the next row, decrease 38 sts at once and knit 14 rows in garter stitch. Close 22 central sts and leave 11 sts on each side, which are continued separately to make the straps. At 4 cm, make a buttonhole, and at 5 cm, close the stitches.
Back part
102 sts all the way to the armhole, which would be the same as the front. No buttonholes are made on the straps.
BABY PANTY PATTERN
32 sts. Start with stockinette stitch, and at the ends, 4 garter stitches. Knit 4 cm straight, then begin increases, which we will do as follows: 4 garter stitches, cast on a stitch, and continue, and at the end of the row, before making the 4 garter stitches, cast on a stitch. Do this until you have increased 10 stitches on each side. Then, increase 4 stitches on both sides at once and continue with stockinette stitch only. At 7 cm, make the elastic stitch, which we will knit for 5 cm to then fold and insert the elastic. Close all stitches.
From the narrow part of the diaper cover's crotch, pick up the same stitches that were cast on at the beginning for the front (32 sts). Here, we start the increases from the 1st row, and instead of making 10 increases, make 14 increases on both sides.
The rest is the same as the front. Sew the sides, fold the elastic part, sew it, and insert the elastic. Sew the sides of the garment. When everything is finished, make some herringbone stitches with Rubí Super Cotton white all over the panty and the dress.
On the wrong side of the work, with thread of the same color as the garment, make some stitches to secure the white cotton strands.
