[NB (0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12)] For NB ch 23, ch 25 for (3-6 mo), ch 29 for (6-9 mo.) or ch 31 for (9-12 mo.) [23, (25, 29, 31) chs made.] Notice that all stitch counts are in brackes with NB size ouside of the parenthesis and all others inside the parenthesis in order of size. You will now sc in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. [22, (24, 28, 30) sc made.] For the next 6 rows (for all sizes) you will ch 1 and turn then sc in each st across. At end of last row.
