Thanks so much for this pattern. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. Beautiful model! 🧶🔥
This is adorable can I do it in #3 weight yarn thank u
Yes but I would use a larger hook size as the yarn is thinner.
This romper is adorable. Thank you for sharing pattern with us.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the pattern 🙂
Love the pattern but also I am losing my mind over the blue and yellow yarn in some of the pictures. I’ve seen it before and love it, but cannot find the brand any where. Could you give me the name of it, please?
Hi, the yarn is Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in “Paris in June”. Hope this helps!
