Yarn: LOOPS & THREADS Fleckes 335yd / 6.53 oz – I used 280 ~ 330 yard
Needle: 3.5 & 4.5mm
Swatch & Gauge: 4” X 4” = 19 STS X 26 ROWS
Measurements: For 6 – 9 months old

Waist: 20” Multiple of 4, so I picked 96
[Math example]
4” : 20” = 19 STS : [X STS]
4X = 20 X 19
4X = 380
X = 380 / 4
X = 95 → 96

Hip with diaper: 21” – 99.75 STS – 100 STS – Multiple of 2
Height from waist to legs: 9.5”
RIB: 1.5” – 10 rows
Height from bottom of RIB to top of leg: 8” – 52 ROWS
100 – 96 = 4 STS
Increase 4 STS total in 1 row


Cast on: 96
RIB: (K1, P1) until your desire length  For me, about 1.5”, 10 rows

[4.5 mm needle]
Knit 1 round and add 2 markers to split in half (Back & Front)

[GSR] for only back PS – 48 STS, I would like to raise about 1” – 6.5 rows
48/6.5 = 7.38  My GSR # is every 7 STS
GR1(RS): K7, TURN
GR2(WS): YFSL1P, TUG THE YARN TO CREATE W ST, (PM1), YF, P UNTIL BEG M, P7, TURN
GR3(RS): YFSL1P, TUG THE YARN TO CREATE W ST, (PM2), YB, K UNTIL BEG M, K UNTIL (RM1), GK2TOG, K7, TURN
GR4(WS): YFSL1P, TUG THE YARN TO CREATE W ST, (PM1), YF, P UNTIL M2, (RM2), GP2TOG, P7, TURN
REP GR3 & GR4 UNTIL your desire row count
When you did last GK2TOG, keep knitting until BEG M, then Keep knitting until the GSR M

[Increasing for Hip]
Increase 4 STS total in 1 row
Divide by 4 parts to add markers including BEG M
Increase by M1R or M1L at every marker

After increasing, knit until your desire length (Total of 52 rows, but)
I will knit another 50 rows, because I’ve already knit 2 rows (1st prep row + Increasing row)

[LEG] Watch the Video
Divide by 3 parts (2 legs and between legs)
I have 100 STS total
50 / 3 = 16.6666
So I decided to divide 3 parts as follows;
LEG: 36 STS each
Between Legs: 14 STS each Side

First 16 / 18 / 16 STS → 18 / 14 / 18 STS each side
Total of 36 STS for leg each side
14 STS for MID part for each front & back


[First LEG]
Transfer MID part STS onto the scrap yarn
Start knitting first leg on RS until next marker
Transfer MID part STS onto the scrap yarn
Then turn, all purl on WS
Keep knitting in flat until your target row count (I did 30 rows)

[LEG RIB] Change needle to 3.5 mm
(K1, P1) until your desire length (I did 10 rows)

Bind off with 4.5 mm needle

You do same thing for 2nd leg
[LEG ARCH RIB]
(Knit up 3 STS, Skip 1 ST) where there are no stitches
Just Knit where there are stitches
Then (K1, P1) until your desire length (I did 4 rows)
Bind off

[Shoulder Band]
You have to decide how wide you want for the back PS,
and the total length from back waist to front waist.
My plan was as follows.
Back PS width: 6.5” – 30 STS – Multiple of 2
Band Total length: 18” – 120 Rows
Band Width: 1.5” – 7 STS


Knit every stitch up (no space)
Garter Stitch until 1/3 of total shoulder band length
120 rows / 3 = 40 rows for me
SL1K, ALL KNIT until last 1 ST, P1

[Left Shoulder]
R1(WS): SL1K, K until last 3 STS, K2TOG, P1
R2(RS): SL1K, K until last 1 ST, P1
Repeat R1 & R2 until your desire stitch count for the band

When you finish decreasing, just garter stitch until your desire length

[Right Shoulder]
R1(WS): SL1K, SSK, K until last 1 ST, P1
R2(RS): SL1K, K until last 1 ST, P1
Repeat R1 & R2 until your desire stitch count for the band
When you finish decreasing, just garter stitch until your desire length

Add Snap buttons as you like
