for size 0-6 months I suggest to use smaller crochet hook (3.25mm) loops; popcorn made
to achieve gauge 10sc per 2 inches). You can also increase the size
using thicker yarn, for example - worsted weight yarn.

 DK weight yarn approx. 150gr / 250gr /350gr

or 520/875/1225 yards
 crochet hook 3,5 (E)mm or size needed to
obtain gauge

to make and how many buttons you would like
to use

Fasten off and join the yarn on opposite side, in the first
sc of the lower part (where the top part ends) and work:
Row 1: ch1, sc in next st, *ch2, skip next 2sts, sc in next
10sts*, repeat from * to end, turn. You can choose how big
button holes you want and work ch3 or ch4 instead of ch2, then
you have to skip the same amount of stitches – if worked ch3, skip
3sts etc. You can also choose how many buttons you would like to
use and in this case work not 10sc between each button hole but
more, or less stitches. I suggest to start making button holes from
the top as in this way you will be sure the first button is in the right
place and you will be able to leave equal distance between each
button.
