  2. Hello! I'm new to knitting, and am confused about your directions for the stockinette before decreasing. I'm working on the 6 month size, so should I repeat rows 23 and 24 9 times for each row, or 9 times total? Thanks for the help and a lovely pattern!

    1. It's a long time since you posted knitwit but I have just done it in the round. You will need to do stocking stitch for the garter stitch border though.
