    My skinny 6 year old has an 18” waist , and that is approx 16 1/2 ” of standard elastic. A baby may be chubbier?

    Yes I am doing the 2 year old size, and seeing as I am a grandmother now, I don’t have any babies to check it on, and this is going to be a gift for someone

    thank you so much for your time

    I haven’t made this pattern, but for other elastic waist pants for my 2 year old I use 20′ of elastic.
