Sew 2 buttons onto the front of the diaper cover, making sure that when the diaper cover is folded closed that “Row 2” (“Row 3” for 3-6 month size) is above the buttons. Easily adjust the size of the diaper cover by changing what double crochets you use as a buttonhole for the buttons.
Pompoms
With CC, make 1 pompom. Make sure the pompom measures 4-5″ in diameter.
With tapestry needle, attach the pompom to the back of the diaper cover.
Finishing
With tapestry needle and yarn (I used Maroon from the same collection), embroider “Nose” detailing onto the hat.
Sew 2 buttons eyes onto the front of the hat above the nose, making sure to space them out evenly. 
I joined the club and paid for it. I cannot remember my password and tried to change it. I followed the directions. you were to send me a link to my email I tried this 3 times and have not received any answer. I am very upset. The only reason I joined again was I really liked the Easter Collection and would like to have this particular collection. I would like to receive some help.
