Lili Romper Dress is a simple romper and dress in one. It features a wide and slightly ruffled collar, 3⁄4 length sleeves and is worked using 1 strand of Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk. The inner bodysuit is worked first from the crotch up to the waist, then the skirt is worked from the bottom up before bodysuit and skirt are knitted together. Sleeves are worked from the bottom up and then joined with the body at the underarms before the yoke is subsequently shaped with raglan decreases. The collar is worked back and forth and shaped with short rows and then knit together with the yoke stitches and finished with an i-cord edge.
