Lemon Peel Crochet Baby Romper.

I am very exited to present the pattern for this cute, soft and comfortable baby romper. It is super practical and comfortable for a small child to wear, and it´s so nice to have the legs free to really kick and bounce 🙂

This romper is crocheted in Drops Cotton Merino, which is a wonderfully soft yarn, consisting of exclusive Indian cotton, and delicious soft merino wool.

This pattern has been tested and tried on real children in all the available sizes. The size can vary depending on the gauge. You may need to change the crochet hook size to achieve the same size. It is important to use the same yarn, as indicated in the pattern, to get the same result and the right size.

You can find the free pattern below in size 0-2 months. If you want to make the Crochet Baby Romper in other sizes, you can buy the ad-free PDF pattern in sizes 2-12 months right here: CROCHET LEMON PEEL BABY ROMPER PATTERN
