When you see something within ( ) perenthesis followed by x ex. (2 Sc, Inc) x 6, that means to complete what is inside the ( ) by as many times as said after it.

When you see a number within the ( ) at the end of an instruction, that is the number of stitches you should have completed in that row.

The hat is size 0-3 months to have the leeway for babies with a slightly larger head at birth. The shorts are a typical newborn size. (I’ll update with the hat and shorts width and height when I get the chance.)

Keep in mind that everyones tension is different, so you may need you go up or down a hook size to meet the intended size. If you decide to change the yarn brand, you may also need to play around with hook size.

You’ll need to know how to crochet in the round, with rows in a spiral, work rows back and forth, joining rows, and sewing pieces together.
