R2-R[ compiled inches] /// EXP: 74 Rows:

Note: I deducted 2 inches from the 27 inches, so that the belt would feel a bit snug around my waist!

Continuing the Rows:  

 Alternate between SC for the all of the rows, into all of the STS, once you reach the final row [ROW 74 or compiled inches Row.]


Suggested Sizing For Rows
