Overalls

Chain 44. Join into a circle.

1) HDC once into each st. around. Place stitch marker into last HDC to keep your place.
2 – 8) HDC once into each st. around.

Begin leg:.
9) HDC in first 22 sts. Place a stitch marker in #22.
10) Begin round 10 in the first stitch of round 9. All remaining sts on round 8 will remain unworked for now. HDC in each st around. (22 HDC)
11 – 20) HDC in each stitch around.
21) Slst in each HDC. Join to first slst & finish off.
The other leg is worked the same. Just join your yarn in the first unworked stitch on round 8. Leave a long tail when you start so you can use it to sew up any small hole at the crotch (don't remember offhand if I had one or not).
Begin bib:

Flip the pants so the waistline is right side up. Working in the free loops of the starting chain, sc in each st. around Finish off.
1) Join yarn in st #10. HDC in that stitch & in next 16 sts. 17 HDC
2 – 6) Ch 1, turn. (Note that here I am not using the typical "ch 2 counts as 1 HDC". The turning chain here will not count as a pattern stitch.) HDC in each stitch.
Do not finish off at thr end of row 6.
7) Ch 1, turn. HDC only in first 4 sts. 4 HDC
8 – 18) Ch 1, turn. HDC in each st. Finish off at the end of row 18, leaving a long tail.

Use that tail to sew the strap to the waistband on the back. There should be 5 sts on the waistband between the bib section and where you start to sew the strap.

Make the other strap in the same fashion, joining your yarn on st 13 of row 6.
