It is highly recommended that you check your gauge prior to
beginning this pattern. The gauge for stitches is very important in
this pattern to get the correct chest measurement. The gauge for the
number of rows is not as important, as you can always adjust length by
adding or deleting rows.

Gauge in dc: 18 sts = 4 inches and 6 rows = 2 inches

Measurements:
Newborn – 17” chest and 12” length
0-3 months – 18” chest and _13_” length
3-6 months – 19” chest and _14_” length
6-12 months – 20” chest and 15__” length
2 years – 21” chest and __16” length

Finish off and weave in ends.
Sew button onto right side of garment at the neckline.
If desired to add a ribbon, I wove the ribbon thru every 2 dc’s all the way around
on Row 12. I then sewed the ribbon to secure it. Add a small flower or bow if
desired.
