Newborn
3/6 Month
9/12 Month
12/18M (this one!)

Materials:
Lightweight/Size 3/DK yarn (w/o fringe)
-approx. 275 yards for 12/18M
6mm hook (or size needed to obtain gauge)
Gauge: 12 dc sts x 8 rows = 4”
Pattern Notes:
Start at the top and work your way down.
Pattern starts at the center back and is joined in rounds, turning each row.
Place first stitches of each row in the same space as join. (the ch-2 does not count as a stitch)
Odd numbered rows are “right side” and even numbered rows are “wrong side”. When finished with row 1, you could add a safety pin to remind you which side is which.
