ch 2 counts as 1st DC
Stitches:
ch Chain
Sl St Slip Stitch

*Please note all babies are shaped differently. My sizing was based and tested on average sizes found. For best result measure your babies waist and add or take a few stitches away for best results (or download the full pattern and use closest measurements-check below to find out how!). You can always add a few extra stitches to give yourself some wiggle room. The draw string helps with accurate fit.
