A hooded, raglan-sleeve jumpsuit with a central front zip, side-seam pockets, an elastic waist, and ribbed cuffs at the wrists and ankles.
A hooded jumpsuit with raglan sleeves, a central front zip, and pockets set into the side seams. Ribbed cuffs finish the wrists and ankles.
The waist is gathered with an elastic casing, and a cord threaded through the hood lets you cinch it for a snug fit. Sized from 18 months to 10 years (86–140 cm height).
For sewing this jumpsuit we recommend a warm Jersey knit (sweatshirt fleece). For the hood lining, use a thin jersey, and ribbing for the cuffs.
The zipper underlay (placket) and pockets can be made from raincoat fabric or from the main fabric, at your discretion.
Tap a size to see it highlighted across the table. Based on 180 cm / 70⅞" wide fabric (ribbing excepted).
