I used a smaller hook than the pattern called for. Using a size H hook and following the pattern for size 2-5 months gave me the perfect fit for 0-3 months size.

I skipped one row of button holes, instead, just using the correct stitch in that row, and made button holes at the very top back as the pattern calls for.

I love how the pattern is EXACTLY the same shape as the baby diaper, even gathering at the legs. This covers the diaper perfectly for babys photos.

I wrote a pattern for a matching hat with Lions mane, lions tail, and paw mitts.
