With smaller needles, CO 64 stitches. Knit 2" 1x1 ribbing (k1, p1)

Rnd 1: (k8, m1) around (72 stitches total)

Make a cord or use ribbon (I like a plain crochet cord or icord for this, it's more secure). Thread it through the eyelet row.

This is awesome for little babes to sleep in. It keeps the toes warm and makes midnight diaper changes a breeze. :)
