HDC along front edge, neckline, (2nd) front edge; 3 HDC in bottom/front

HDC

worked a total of three HDC trim rows - depending on the look you want,
you could do more (for more of a shawl collar look) or less.
Sleeves
can be folded for a cuff on
smaller infants
Cut
two lengths of narrow ribbon approximately 14" each; fold each in half
and insert one folded edge through any space in the base HDC in front
about 2/3 from bottom edge; loop folded edge over loose ends and
tighten for a tie; repeat for other side (you may want to tack the loop
with needle and thread to secure). If desired, you can weave
a
length of ribbon through the row of DC on edge of sleeves.
