Pattern notes:
The onesie is worked starting below the shoulders in the back, up over the shoulders and then worked flat down the front, stopping just before legs are worked. Stitches for front are held aside while back of body is worked until just before legs are worked. Legs are then worked flat. The sleeves are picked up and added on after the body is finished. Sides and sleeves are then seamed. The top edge is picked up and added on last.
