Bloomers Knitting Pattern
Create adorable hand-knitted bloomers for babies aged Newborn to 18 months using this detailed pattern. Designed for SESIA Mistral Jacquard 4ply yarn, this pattern includes instructions for versions with or without leg length. The bloomers feature a ribbed waistband with optional tie, and are perfect for layering over nappies. Each garment is unique due to the self-patterning nature of the yarn, making your finished piece truly one-of-a-kind.
