Fasten off. Sew in ends. Using yarn C and tapestry needle, join squares in 6×2 formation, rs together using mattress seam. Then join two short edges together using the same seam, rs together. This forms a continuous tubular shape that forms the main part of the shorts. Sew in ends.

With rs facing, place the shorts so that you have 2×2 full squares and 2 half squares facing (see pic) this will become the front/back. Using yarn C, with rs facing join to any sp in 'top' of shorts, (ch 3, 2tr, 1 ch) into first sp, (3 tr, 1 ch) into every sp and corner sp to end. Join to top of beg 3 ch with ss, (24 x 3 tr clusters) or (96 sts total)

Step-5

Continuing with yarn C, 1 ch (counts as 1st dc now and throughout), dc into every st to end, join to beg 1 ch with ss. (96 dc) Fasten off. Rep last round with yarn B, (96 dc) Fasten off. With front facing, join yarn B to dc stitch that is directly above central top-left granny square seam, ch 1 and dc along to dc stitch that is directly above central top-right granny square seam. (30 dc), this forms the start of the 'bib' part of romper, *ch 2, (counts as 1st htr now and throughout) htr to end, rep from * until bib measures 10 cm. fasten off

Step-6

Step-8

With yarn A, join to any st, 1 ch, dc around to end, join to beg 1 ch with ss. Fasten off. Divide for legs: RS facing, and continuing with yarn A, find central dc on front and back from the last round, join yarn through both front and back dc stitches together. Working around right-leg first, *1 ch, dc around to end, ss to beg 1 ch, rep from * twice more. Fasten off. Repeat for left-leg.
