Love this pattern
Had to modify the waistband so that I could put a cord through, as I wasn’t quite sure of granddaughter’s waist measurement as she lives interstate.

Waistband mod.
didn’t do the provisional cast on
didn’t join in the round
centred the opening so that the cord would be in the front.

Apart from that stuck to the pattern.
