Notes

Yarn dyed with blue koolaid and dollar store food coloring in blue.

Some photos taken in the sun, some in the shade, with resulting color variations.

I made a hole for the elastic so it can be adjusted as needed by binding off 5 and casting on 5 in the following round. Currently it is threaded through, but not sewn. Its just tied in a knot. I’m waiting to see how fat the baby turns out to be and will sew the elastic and stitch up the hole in the inside of the waistband then.

Did a rolled hem and used up all but a tiny little ball of the yarn. I may go back and use some of the multi colored hand dyed yarn from a soaker to knit and sew a cuff if it seems the rolled edge is uncomfortable.

Not washed, blocked, or lanolized yet.
