This pattern is for a newborn. It can be made for larger infants and even toddlers, if you feel like wrestling with one. To make it longer, some babies are all leg it seems, just add more of the non-increasing rows. To increase the girth add more of the increasing rows. The shell pattern will continue to work, no problem. I welcome all questions and thank you to those that have sent the wonderful positive feedback. :)

As of Nov 3, 2015 the pattern has been available for just a year and a half and already has over 5 thousand downloads! Five thousand and eighty four to be exact. That makes me unbelievably happy. I love seeing all the projects made with this pattern. The color choices and adaptations that make it your own floor me with your creativity. Keep sharing and thank you so much!
