Begin with a triangle and a rectangle. In this example, for my 6 month old, I use a triangle, 13"x11.25x11.25, and a rectangle, 9"x1.5".

Fold the rectangular piece in half and stitch, leaving ends open to insert elastic.

On triangular piece, finish the two shorter edges by folding under, then folding under again. Stitch.
