Before you begin
Make a washed or blocked swatch and check both gauge and fabric before starting. Buy complete balls, allowing extra yarn for swatching, changes to length or fit, and differences in gauge. The metre figures are based on the designer’s quantities, rather than exact measured consumption.
Frequently asked questions
Is Anker’s Onesie worked flat or in the round?
The buttoned upper section starts in flat rows. The front plackets then overlap and the body is joined in the round before dividing for the full-length legs.
Is the Onesie’s chest figure a circumference?
The listed chest width is measured flat. Use that width together with the neck-to-crotch length when comparing the sizes; the age labels are only a guide.
