I am not sure I did this right

On the neck edging you work a multiple of 2 plus one it dont say how many so I assumed just whatever you come up with.

Also on rnd 2 you are skipping one loop then picot

After all that is done neck is still just about as wide and so is shoulders

I dont know If i messed up at the beginning or what but it looks way to big for the size I am making and dont look anything like the finished picture

0-3 months

I need to have this finished by friday so any ifo would be great

Thanks

When you read Strap A Rows 3-X: it says to rep row 2 until dress measures 3.75" (for 0-3 months) from Row 8 of Yoke. It looks to me like maybe you measured from row 1 of yoke instead. :? I could be wrong, but that is my guess. Let me know if this helps. :D

where you attach to start strap is that row 1 then?

The top where you attach the strap is row 1 of the front panel. The front panel should have measured about 2.28" once you completed row 8 (according to gauge). You should be measuring from that row until the strap is 3.75" for your size (about 1.47" from the top if that helps). The # of rows you make for that will then be repeated to start the back side of the strap.

just thought of a real quick question when you do the end( the picots) do you picot both button panels or just the shoulders and neck??

The pattern is written to go on both of the bands as well as the neckline, but you probably could adjust that to your liking since you won't see the band that you put the buttons on. Just remember that the miniloops created on the first row are what you will be using as buttonholes.
