Marie’s Romper

Marie’s Romper is worked from the top down with raglan increases and a neckline shaped with short rows. An invisible casing for the drawstring is worked around the waist. Extra height is added at the back of the romper to make room for a diapered bottom, and it is finished with popper (snap) buttons between the legs.
