Lion Brand® Jamie® Pompadour
GAUGE: With larger hook, 4 pattern repeats = 7"
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

If you want Baby to be able to wear Bunting while in car seat, do not sew bottom seam. Bottom hem can be left "as-is" (the stockinette stitch will naturally roll) or you can pick up stitches along bottom hem and knit a few rows of garter stitch (knit every row if working Back and Front separately on straight needles or alternate rounds of knit and purl if using circular needles to work in the round) to flatten it, adding buttonholes evenly spaced, if desired, along one side and sewing buttons opposite to match. Bottom hem may also be closed by sewing in a zipper or Velcro.
