Knit Overall for the Toddler - Boy or Girl
For experienced knitters.
I have designed this overall to last a long time with a loose and easy fit.
Rule number one:
Before start any project knit a swatch (15-20sts, 20-30 rows), wash it and do all calculations based on it when it's completely dry.
Rule number two:
Make sure all measurements on a schema match your size or make adjustments if needed.
