Anker's Onesie Pattern

Anker’s Onesie has a circular yoke with sections of rib shaped with increases, followed by a section of stockinette stitch shaped with classic raglan increases. The suit is worked from the top down.

The first part of Anker’s Onesie is worked back and forth on circular needles, then the body is joined to be worked in the round just before the legs. The first and last 7 sts on the first part of the suit are worked in rib and these sts are then overlapped to form the front plackets. Buttonholes are worked along the way. Read carefully how the buttonholes are worked below before beginning the project. The sleeves and legs are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on circular needles using the Magic Loop technique.
