Below is a master class on crocheting a onesie for newborns. A complete diagram and description of overalls for a newborn 0-3 months will help you create a wonderful thing for your own child or as a gift.
Variety of models
Very beautiful overalls are obtained when using openwork knitting of the product. Such things look elegant and very cute. They can be of different styles and colors.

The envelope suit is very convenient and comfortable for walking and sleeping. Its lower part is not divided into panties, but is knitted in a bag or envelope.
The video tutorial will help you learn how to knit such a wonderful envelope suit.
It is very convenient for parents when there are fasteners on the inner seams of the legs, because thanks to them you can easily and quickly change the child’s diaper, without the need to completely remove the overalls. To make such a jumpsuit, you can use a standard pattern, and when knitting on the legs, add stripes and knit them when connecting the legs together.
You can also knit a jumpsuit, which, thanks to the fasteners, turns into a bag.
Choosing a color
Overalls for newborn boys options:
- primary blue, secondary white;
- completely brown;
- main white, additional blue;
- primary green, secondary gray;
- main dark blue, additional orange;
- completely orange.
For newborn girls, make in this color scheme:
- main white, additional pink;
- completely pink;
- primary yellow, secondary white;
- primary white, secondary red;
- completely powdery pink.
Choose any color scheme, combine colors, come to original and bold solutions.
Necessary materials
To knit a jumpsuit for newborns, you need to prepare the following materials:
- knitting needles;
- yarn;
- a needle and thread for connecting parts of the overalls together;
- markers for removing loops.
Particular attention should be paid to the choice of yarn for overalls for newborns. It should be hypoallergenic and not cause discomfort when it comes into contact with the baby’s delicate skin.
It is best to give preference to yarn in calm pastel colors. There is no need to purchase knitting threads that have bright, “acid” shades. A jumpsuit for newborns knitted with simple stockinette stitch from melange yarn will look original. It has sectional dyeing and forms a fancy pattern during knitting. A product made from such yarn will look original and unusual.
You need to choose threads for knitting in accordance with the season in which the baby will wear the overalls. For the spring-summer season you need to purchase cotton threads or acrylic threads. Winter overalls for newborns are made from wool threads or alpaca. For products knitted with knitting needles, it is better to give preference to yarn with an admixture of bamboo. It will not allow the overalls to lose their original shape due to the baby’s active movements.
A large selection of knitted overalls will allow craftswomen to create an exclusive item for their newborn baby. Each model is provided with a detailed description, which will allow even beginning knitters to understand the pattern.
Knitting individual elements
The instructions are for a newborn crocheted onesie for up to 3 months without seams. If you don’t need such a big one, then knit a smaller piece. If in doubt, make a pattern for a newborn jumpsuit and use it as a guide.
Let's start knitting.
Take the main color and cast on 42 ch. The result is a chain of 30 cm.
Attention: The number must be divisible by 6!
Divide 42/6 to get 7. Next, a marker is inserted into every 7th loop. This allows you to divide knitting into:
- front part;
- sleeve;
- back;
- front part;
- second sleeve.
An example is shown in the photo.
Yoke
We start knitting the yoke at the top. At the beginning of each row, knit 3 ch for lifting. We knit 1 dc into the next loops.
We reach loop No. 7 and make 2 double crochets. Then we knit 1 ch and again 2 dc.
Next, we knit the product to the end according to the same pattern: In each loop of the row 1 double crochet, in every 7th loop 2 dc, 1 ch, 2 double crochets.
We knit a row and turn the knitting. Now we knit in the opposite direction, starting with 3 ch, then follow the same pattern.
The yoke is knitted to the required back width, then 3 cm is added. For ages 0-6 months, the width is 24 cm.
Next we knit a row up to the first ch of the previous row. This place will be the connection to the sleeve.
Front end
We hook both halves of the product in the place where two double crochets are knitted, ch, again 2 dc. We connect and knit 1 dc.
In the next loop we make 1 double crochet.
We knit dc to the next sleeve according to the same pattern. We connect the halves of the product: we hook both halves of the product in the place where two dc are knitted, ch, again 2 dc. We connect and knit 1 double crochet.
We knit the product another 13 centimeters.
After completing the knitting, we connect the halves of the sp.
At the beginning of each new row, the product is rotated, this makes it possible to maintain the integrity of the pattern.
We knit according to the same principle about another 10 cm, to the place where the legs will begin.
We count the number of loops of the last row. It turns out 62/2 equals 31 loops for each pant leg.
For convenience, place markers (beginning of the first and second leg).
If you want an envelope romper, continue crocheting without dividing into the pants.
Back
The back is crocheted parallel to the front using the same knitting pattern, which allows you to make a costume quickly. Sew the product together after both parts are ready. Knitting patterns and methods of connecting parts are indicated in the paragraphs above.
Legs
We connect the halves of the product. To do this, cast on 2 ch, knit 1 dc in the loop marked with the marker of the first leg.
We continue to knit double crochets.
At the end of the row, join a sp, knitting it into the second lifting loop, as shown in the photo.
Next, each row begins with 3 ch, then a dc is knitted to the end. Knitting does not turn over.
Complete row 3 ch.
We knit rows to the required length (21 cm).
We combine the second leg with the loop where the marker is installed, as shown in the photo.
Make 2 ch and knit a dc through a loop with a marker. Next we knit according to the same pattern as the first leg.
We knit the last row of both legs with the main and colored yarn in single crochets, and we knit the last row with a crab step.
Sleeves
We start knitting the sleeve from the armpit. We knit 3 ch.
Next we knit a dc into the loop.
Tip: tie the tail of the thread with columns so that it does not come out.
We knit double crochets in a circle.
At the end make a sp and 3 ch.
Each subsequent row begins with 3 ch. The sleeve is knitted to the desired length (18 cm from the armpits).
The last rows are tied with the main and colored yarn in single crochets, the final row is tied with a crab step.
Hands can be covered for a newborn; by 3 months the baby will be uncomfortable in such clothes.
Hood and ears
You can make a funny teddy bear out of your baby using a hood with ears.
Tie the neckline with a row of single crochets.
Next, make a row of double crochets, fold the product in half and tie a dc. Approximately in the middle of the product, make an additional post so that the hood is beveled.
Knit exactly 18 rows and place a marker in the center.
Knit one half in decreasing order. Before the marker, tie the last 3 dc together.
Turn the knitting and knit the first 3 dcs together. Make 6 rows according to this pattern.
Knit the second part of the hood in the same way. Crochet the parts together.
After the part is ready, start knitting the ears for the bear.
Cast on 13 ch for the ear. Work a single crochet into each stitch. Knit 3-4 rows in the round. Sew the ears to the top of the head with a special needle.
Recommendations before starting work
When choosing yarn, you need to take into account that synthetic threads and threads dyed in very poisonous colors are absolutely not suitable for a newborn baby. Pay attention to the composition. For example, cotton thread is hypoallergenic and natural. Wool, although it is natural, soft and warm, has the risk of causing allergies in a child. Wool blends minimize this risk. An excellent option would be bamboo yarn. Not only will it not cause allergies, but it is also soft, pleasant and warm to the touch. When choosing yarn, the choice is yours; everyone also decides for themselves which threads to choose.
Almost all yarn manufacturers offer a children's line of different types of threads.
If it is not possible to take measurements, then you can use a special table of sizes for children under one year old.
If the cuffs do not have feet and mittens knitted, they can be knitted when the child grows up. And this is also a plus, since we all know how quickly children grow, and most of the clothes are not worn even a couple of times.
To make clothes, you can use patterns. The dimensions are indicated in centimeters. How to calculate the number of loops per centimeter, since knitting uses threads of different thicknesses and the density of the fabric varies? To convert centimeters into loops, you can knit a small sample of the yarn that will be used to knit the item. Wash this sample, dry it and steam it with an iron. And after that, measure how many loops there are per centimeter.

Binding into a finished product
We tie the entire jumpsuit with single crochets, starting from the navel.
At the corners near the neck, knit 3 dc in one loop to turn the knitting.
We come to the very beginning of knitting, fasten the thread with a sp and cut it with scissors.
Using an additional color we knit 2 single crochets. We make 5 holes for buttons.
Using ch, we make a buttonhole.
We knit 4 single crochets through the loop.
Then make ch and 4 single crochets to the top.
We tie it around the neck without a crochet.

Transformable jumpsuit
The transformable overalls for newborns are knitted according to the same pattern as the regular ones presented in the master class. To make a transformer, it is enough to determine where the buttons will be located (along the entire length of the product for a bag, on each leg for overalls with legs and 5-6 buttons along the length of the body).
After marking the location of the buttons, crochet 2 rows according to the pattern: single crochet on the side of the loops, on the other side 3 rows of single crochets, then again 2 rows of single crochets with a ch in the place where the loops should be.
Sew matching buttons. A simple scheme will allow you to make 2 overalls in 1. Depending on the weather and the age of the baby, you can choose how to wear the product.
