Notes

Isabel is 22 months old in the photos (12/29/22).

My gauge was larger than the pattern’s so I used the stitch counts for the 6-12 month size and followed the length measurements for the 1-2 year size.

I used a long tail cast on, started with a WS row, and worked 12 rows of rib instead of 11 rows.

I picked up 102 sts for the face border rib per size 6-12 months (about 4 sts for every 5 rows along the sides).

I used a decrease bind off for the rib.

Measurements:

  • Height: 8.75”
  • Depth: 7”

Total Cost: $1.39

  • Striped Yarn: $0.87
  • Cream Yarn: $0.52
