New Arrival Overalls

Job type Test knit
Description

The New Arrival Overalls are cast on and worked in rows for the front before additional stitches are cast on and joined in the round for the waistband. There is gentle increase shaping through the bottom before the legs are separated and worked one at a time. The straps are made last and stitched on. You may choose to leave them plain or to add the ruffles as I did.
