moondiapers onsie pattern

sorry guys, 1 inch buttons are too big, you'll need 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch depending on your gauge. I would wait until it's done to choose buttons

Wahooo!!! Good to "see" you Heather I'm half way into a wee little poncho right now, but when I'm through I'll dig out my Cascade again and give your pattern a shot. Are you surviving your week?

Sounds pretty! I'm know that I"ll give your pattern a shot though....it's on my list of teeny-weeny- newborn- patterns- to- knit- before- the- end- of- July!

Excellent I just found this! I'll cast on tonight! I love that it's a NB size I'll make it to match the sweater i just finished

I'm writing it as I knit it. It'll be finished tomorrow evening, then I'll put it all in one post

Cool! Thank you so much for doing this, moondiaper!

I'm getting frustrated by the Hannah's Onesie pattern so I think a froggin' I will go ... and start over with this pattern.

I just posted some pics on my blog of the sweater I recycled to get the yarn I'm using (a very soft silk/wool blend) in an oatmeal color. Of course, that last picture (of where I was on the other onesie last night) just disregard

Best Wishes! It's awful fun to have other mamas to knit along with

Front

Now, working back and forth on the front of the onsie......we're going to do one side at a time. Work back and forth on one side of the center stitch marker decreasing at the beginnig of every 2nd row at the inside edge of the neckline. Continue to decrease in this manner, keeping in your stitch pattern until you have the same number of stitches at the top of your front should as for the back 8(10). Starting at the inside edge of the neckline work 2 sts BO 3 then work till end of row. Turn, work until the button hole, then cast on 3 sts, work to end of row. Work one more row, then bind off in pattern. Then break the yarn and do the same on the other side of your center stitch marker. This will make a nice wide V neck.

I'll write the pattern for the neck ribbing and sleeves in a day or so, right now I have a major plumbing problem in my kitchen that I have to keep mopping up until the plumber comes tomorrow

Ok so I've caught up... however it looks strange to me. It's got a DEEP V-neck (think something Samantha would wear on Sex and the City), like it would go to the baby's belly button. Also, the front straps are MUCH longer than the back straps (at the shoulder) If it doesn't make sense, I'll take apix and show you... I think I've done something wrong. Unless things will change with the next part......

Well i may do a crochet border and put a button or two.. other wise my baby will be showing a lot of cleavage I'm excited to finish this and see how it looks!

Back neck.
Ok ok, lol. This has a 3 part ribbed neck. Start with the back, pick up one stitch per row, knit across the held sts, then pick of one stitch per row again. Knit in a K1P1 ribbing for 2 rows. Then at the begining of each row bind off one stitch. Do this for 4 rows, then bind off the whole thing.

Right front neck
pick up 1 st per row and k1p1 ribbing for 2 rows. Then, each time you start a row at the top edge BO 1 st . Don't bind off at the bottom of the V. Do this for a total of 4 rows (you'll bind off 1 st 2 times at the top). Repeat the process for the other side.

If you feel that you need more rows in your neckline go ahead and add them

When looking at the front of the garment the ribbing at the front of the V will not be completely attached, just tack it down with a yarn needle and yarn when you are weaving in your ends.

Sew your buttons on the top of the shoulders and Button the garment closed.

Sleeves

If you choose to do sleeves, pick up the sts around the arm holes while the shoulders are buttoned closed. When you get to the top of teh shoulder you will bring the picked up stitches through both the button band and the button hole band. This will make your armhole closed and the shirt will only open at the neckline.
