Knittin' for Baby: Striped Coverall
admin
And, another project completed just fast enough to wear once. Ah well. At the very least, it made for some nice photos.
Can I also recommend a little something to knitters who follow in my footsteps and think that open-ring snaps are the way to go? Here's my advice... reinforce the knitted fabric with some kind of backing. Either a thin strip of jersey or something. The prongs are kind of ripping into the button bands. Argh. What was I thinking?! Oh... I wasn't. I just wanted to "get 'er done." And so it goes...

Modifications:
- Solid color sleeves
- Shortened sleeves to prevent the LD from eating the cuffs.
- Added a crotch gusset as seen below... because there was no way they would fit over cloth diapers or at 3 months... and the LD is kind of an average sized 3 month old.
