i made many modifications to this pattern and didn’t keep very good notes. :(
basically i just cast on less, knit for less inches than was indicated all the way around. there were a few errors in the pattern, having you cast off when you needed to go straight into making a tie with the crochet hook.
the pattern itself was fun to knit, but until my daughter tries on the suit itself, i’m not sure i’ll make it again! (or maybe with more mods!)

i gave the yarn only 2 stars, because i just dislike knitting with cotton so much. it’s probably a very good yarn. :)
