Free Knitting Pattern for a Baby Romper for a Boy or Girl

Updated December 7, 2025 by Jan of Unique Baby Gear Ideas

The free knitting pattern for a baby romper for a boy or girl back in the day would have been for a boy only.  Today, with the right color yarn, the little onesie is unisex.

Traditional neutral colors would be soft yellow, green or lavender.



The pattern would also be cute specifically for a boy in blue (navy or light blue) or pink for a girl and can be made in three sizes, 1 year, 1 1/2 years and 2 years.
