Tiny Tulips is a special one-piece for baby girls: a three-quarter-length sleeve romper with simple-cable hem and cuffs, and a full lace skirt with a pattern inspired of springtime budding tulips.
The one-piece is worked from the bottom up and in the round, beginning from the crotch flaps which are knitted flat and separately. Button fastening at the crotch, and short-row shaping at the back allow for diaper wearing and changing.
The instructions for the lace and cable patterns are charted only.
