I did four rows instead of three, but it wasn&#8217;t enough to stabilize it &#8211; or else I should have decreased a couple of stitches to help it come in a little more.  On the other hand, baby bellies are soft and round, so maybe it&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m trying to find a baby sock pattern to use up the remaining 37 yards of sock yarn, but most list the number of ounces instead of yards.
