Kay has posted about someone knitting the nightie. It's the April 24, 2007 post. I don't remember what specifics of construction were mentioned, but I hope this will help you.
 

Here is another blog that talks about the nightie (using tiny URL): http://tinyurl.com/2ae8oc
 

I think you can knit it in the round without any problem, but I'd recommend a phony seam (Elizabeth Zimmermann technique described in our Blu baby jeans pattern on Knitty.com) to counteract the linen yarn's tendency to bias/twist.

Somebody just blogged about knitting one and then having her daughter request one too. xoxo Kay
