Introduction

Welcome back to my channel, crochet lovers! In today's tutorial, I will be showing you how to make a crochet romper inspired by the popular children's character, Coco Melon. This adorable romper is designed to fit a baby boy aged one to three years old. Please note that in this video, I will only demonstrate how to make the upper portion of the romper. However, I will also provide instructions on how to make the shorts in a separate video tutorial. So, let's get started and make this cute Coco Melon romper together!

Materials Needed

To make this Coco Melon inspired crochet romper, you will need the following materials:

• Yarn in various colors (dark green, lighter green, and lighter pink)
• 2.5mm crochet hook
• Pair of scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Tape measure
• Buttons (optional)
• Fiber fill (for Coco Melon's face)

Gather all these materials before we begin the project.

Making the Upper Portion of the Romper

1. Start by creating a slip knot and making a foundation chain. The length of the chain will depend on the upper torso measurement of the child who will wear the romper. For this tutorial, we will make a length of 8 inches and a width of 6.5 inches.

2. Skip one chain from the hook and continue with half double crochet on the second chain. Work half double crochet on each stitch across the foundation chain, following the same pattern from row 1.

3. Continue working on rows 2 and 3 by placing one chain before starting with half double crochet on each row.

4. Cut the yarn and attach the lighter green yarn. Repeat rows 4 to 6 with half double crochet using the lighter green yarn.

5. Cut the yarn again and attach the darker green yarn. Repeat the same pattern by placing one half double crochet on each stitch until you reach the desired width of the torso.

6. To finish this part, place half double crochets on each side of the romper. Start with one half double crochet and then create four half double crochets in each color. Switch between the dark green and light green yarns following this pattern.

7. Cut the yarn and attach the lighter pink color to create Coco Melon's face. Make a foundation chain of 32. Skip three chains from the hook and continue across with one double crochet on each stitch.

8. For row 2, make two chains (considered as one double crochet) and place one double crochet on the same stitch. This row will be an increase row, so place two double crochets on the first and last stitch of the row.

9. Repeat row 2 for rows 3 to 10, placing one double crochet on each stitch.

10. For rows 11 and 12, create a decrease by placing one double crochet together on the first and second stitches. Continue with one double crochet on each stitch and end with a double crochet together on the last two stitches.

11. Complete the remaining details of Coco Melon's face by referring to my Coco Melon inspired crochet hat video for the pattern of the eyes, cheeks, and other facial features.

Attaching the Rectangular Top to the Shorts

12. Use your headpins to attach the rectangular top to the shorts. Make sure to align the pieces properly before securing them in place.

Making the Straps

13. To make the straps, create a slip knot and use a 2.5mm crochet hook. Make five chains and skip one chain from the hook. Continue with one half double crochet on each stitch until the end.

14. Repeat the previous step to create a total of four half double crochets on each row. Chain one and make another one half double crochet on each stitch. Repeat this process until you reach the desired length of the straps.

Adding Holes for Buttons on the Straps

15. To add adjustable buttons on the straps, create holes by placing one half double crochet, two chains, and skipping two stitches. On the last stitch, place one half double crochet. Repeat this pattern for a total of four holes on each strap.

16. Finish the straps by placing one single crochet on the first stitch, followed by two single crochets in the chain space and another single crochet on the last stitch. Repeat this pattern for two single crochets on each double crochet stitch.

Final Assembly

17. Attach the straps to the shorts and the rectangular top using the ends of the yarn. Make sure to align the buttons on the straps.

18. Complete the romper by adding all the remaining details to Coco Melon's face, such as the eyes, cheeks, and other features. Refer to my Coco Melon inspired crochet hat video for the pattern.

19. The romper is now ready! Feel free to add any additional details or embellishments to personalize it further.
