Sample

All product done in garter stitch, with the exception of only flounces along the edge of the straps, use for them purl stitch with knitting needles. Therefore, the sample should be made with a simple garter stitch fabric. You need to knit a small square and then calculate the knitting density to it. To do this, simply put a ruler and count how many loops are contained in 10 cm. Then unroll the knitting and count the number of rows in the same 10 cm.

Before

Very interesting bodysuit models are made from the front part to the back. Everything is knitted in one piece and does not even require assembly. Knit the front piece along the width of the back minus 8 cm. For the pattern, use 6 cm on each edge of garter stitch, then 1 knit stitch and between the edges in the center again garter stitch.

For garter stitch You just need to knit only knit stitches in each row and even perform knit stitches on the purl row. Knit in front with increases in every second row, two loops from each edge in medium garter stitch fabric. Knit 30 rows and then change the pattern. Now you will need to knit all the loops with a garter stitch pattern without separating the fabric with facial loops.

Important! Don't forget to knit the edge stitches correctly. The first stitch of a row is always simply knitted, and the last stitch in any row will be knitted purlwise.

Make decreases until the middle of the swimsuits. Then knit 6 rows without changing stitches. Then start making additions again. By analogy with decreases, add one loop on each side. In total, you should get two loops with additions in a row. Add to the proper width, as on the front shelf. Take the next step.

Back

For the back you will need to use one garter stitch fabric. Knit to the transition line of the front front to the new pattern and begin cutting off the stitches. By analogy with the additions on the front shelf, reduce 2 loops through each row. Then the straps for boys and girls will be slightly different.

Straps

For boys, you will need to knit straps across the width from several back loops; they should look like a garter stitch fabric along the front flange of each edge. Make the required length and simply close the loops. For girls, additionally tie each strap with garter stitch flounces. Also, cross the straps for girls along the back.

Buttons

Sew buttons in the right place on each strap. Then, as the baby grows, it will be possible to alter the buttons; for this it is better to make a small supply of straps along the length.
