Lil' Sister Romper
Unisex Baby and Toddler Romper
Although fully gender neutral, the Lil’Sister Romper was inspired by my second daughter Luna and her big bright smile. It is a comfy vest romper that can be worn with tights and a long sleeve top underneath during cold weather, or on its own during summer months. It is worked bottom up, using Moss St in the main body and Stockinette at the chest. It sports an opening at the bottom for easy nappy changes.
