The overalls are knitted from top to bottom. The upper part is in rib, while the body and legs are knitted in structure. You start by knitting the front piece, braces, and back piece back and forth separately while at the same time inc on each side. Then knit the front and back piece together and continue in structure. It’s worked higher in the back for a good fit. The structure is elastic so the overalls can be used for a long time and grow with the child. These are good for both infants and children and stay in place during active play.
