Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight cotton yarn
• Hook: 6.5 mm (K) crochet hook
• Gauge: 10 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in double crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends
• Buttons: For closure (as desired)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring: Create a magic ring and chain 2. This will be the foundation of your romper.
2. Round 1: Work 12 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close it.
3. Round 2: In this round, work 2 dc in each stitch around. You should have a total of 24 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *1 dc in the next stitch, then 2 dc in the following stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You should have 36 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Work Even: Continue working in double crochet until the piece measures 6 inches from the center. This will form the body of the romper.
6. Begin Ribbing: Start ribbing by alternating between front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc) for 4 rows. This adds a lovely texture to the romper.
7. Create Straps: Chain 30 and attach the chain to the top of the romper. This will form the straps that will hold the romper in place.
8. Ruffled Sleeves: For the ruffled sleeves, chain 10 and work 2 dc in each stitch for 5 rows. This will create a ruffled effect that adds charm to the romper.
9. Attach Sleeves: Sew or slip stitch the ruffled sleeves to the armholes of the romper, ensuring they are securely fastened.
10. Finish with a Border: Work a single crochet (sc) border around the legs and neckline to give a neat finish to your romper.
11. Add Buttons: Finally, sew on buttons as desired for closure, ensuring they are securely attached for safety.
