Next, begin crocheting the first lock, chain 60, and crochet all sc from the second ch from the hook. The length of the lock depends on the number of chains you make. The lock can be made with sc, slst, or dc, depending on the desired twist.

After completing the first lock, slst into the next stitch of the round, then into the next stitch, and repeat until the end of the row. The next row is worked into the front loops of row 9. Crochet similarly, adjusting the chain length for each lock.

Romper:
Start with the pants. Chain 30 ch, join into a circle.

1-10. 30 sc around (10 rows)
For the second pant leg, crochet the same way, but do not cut the yarn. Continue crocheting the romper, crocheting 5 ch from the second pant leg and joining with the first leg using slst.
