Construction of The Wrapped Bodysuit

The Wrapped Bodysuit is knitted from the top down. 
First, the two chest triangles are knitted separately, then joined together.
From there, you knit back and forth until the front piece is wide enough to wrap around the entire stomach area. After that, the stomach section is worked in the round on a circular needle. Finally, the front part of the bottom is knitted separately, then the back part of the bottom, and the two are joined together using Kitchener stitch.
At the very end, the straps are knitted to the length needed to reach the deep back of The Wrapped Bodysuit.

The bodysuit is knitted to your own measurements, but at certain points we refer to your "normal" size as a reference point.
