  3. Easy easy easy! And quick! Would be a great "go to" pattern for an emergency baby shower or for making multiple vests for hospital donation. Only change I made was to do hdc instead of dc (US terminology) to eliminate the holey-look, making a closer weave. Good pattern.

    1. I am having trouble with the straps and back. Did you follow the pattern as it is or tweak it to work for you?
