These aran weight, unisex dungarees are worked with a fun loopy lion mane (instructions also given to work as a fringe). Dungaree is worked mainly in stocking stitch with garter stitch borders and straps. The straps fasten at the bop of the bib with 2 buttons (2 additional buttons are placed on strap to adjust as baby grows) and with 2 buttons on each side for a closer fit at the waist. The 2 x 2 ribbed waistband across the back fits snugly over nappy.
