Etive Romper in Jeans® Yarn (by Lion Brand Yarn)
From the moment my friend told me she was pregnant, I knew that I wanted to make a special handmade gift for her baby. When I saw the cute versions of the Etive Romper that Christina (@gussetsandgodets) made on Instagram, I knew I wanted to knit the same romper for the yet-to-be born baby boy.
This is my first time knitting something for a little bub, and the romper sure is a quick and satisfying knit! The pattern is short and easy to follow, with lots of potential for easy modifications like the ones Christina (@gussetsandgodets) made. I was planning on taking it slow and completing it in February. But an unexpected baby shower came about and I decided to crank up my knitting speed. I casted on and started knitting the gauge only in the beginning of January, and finished it the night before the baby shower in the middle of the same month.
I made this romper in the size for 0-3 months using the Jeans® yarn by Lion Brand Yarn in Classic. The yarn is such a joy to knit with and has turned out looking so beautiful! Faux denim or faux shibori? You decide. Either way, it’s definitely a basic yet stylish look for a baby ;)
