- Crochet Hook: 12 mm crochet hook

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Start with the Shorts
Begin by making the shorts of the romper. Chain 40 stitches. Once you have your chain, join it with a slip stitch to form a ring. Make sure the chain is not twisted before joining.
2. Work in Double Crochet
For rounds 1 to 5, work in double crochet (dc) around the ring. To do this, yarn over, insert your hook into the ring, yarn over again, pull through (you should have three loops on your hook), yarn over and pull through the first two loops, then yarn over and pull through the last two loops. Repeat this for each stitch around for 5 rounds.
3. Divide for Legs
After completing 5 rounds, it’s time to divide for the legs. Work 20 double crochets (dc) and then turn your work. You will now be working back and forth for the first leg. Work back and forth for 5 rows. This creates the leg opening.
4. Repeat for the Second Leg
Once you finish the first leg, join your yarn to the other side of the shorts. Repeat the same process: work 20 dc, turn, and work back and forth for 5 rows for the second leg.
5. Create the Bodice
Now, it’s time to work on the bodice. Attach your yarn at the back of the shorts. Work 40 double crochets in the round for 5 rounds, just like you did for the shorts. This will form the upper part of the romper.
6. Make the Straps
To create the adjustable straps, chain 8 stitches. Then, work in double crochet for 10 rows. After completing the rows, attach the strap to the front of the bodice. Make sure it’s securely fastened.
7. Repeat for the Second Strap
Repeat the same process to create the second strap. Chain 8, work in double crochet for 10 rows, and attach it to the front of the bodice, ensuring both straps are even.
8. Finish with a Neat Edge
To give your romper a polished look, finish with a round of single crochet around all edges. This will help to tidy up the edges and provide a nice finish to your adorable creation.
Congratulations! You have successfully completed your Chunky Crochet Baby Romper. Enjoy dressing your little one in this cozy and stylish outfit!
