The poem that goes with it:
Now that you're getting older,
And the nights are getting colder,
Nothing could be neater,
Than this little Peter Heater

(Debra's changes)
Ties Short-Cinch Tie: Make a chain 18inches long, sc back on the chain. Weave tie around the
double crochet spaces, from the middle of the back of the sack, to the middle front of the Main Bit. Long Tie (to go around the hips): Make a chain of 200. Sc back on the chain. Weave the same
way as the Short-Cinch Tie.
NOTE! Please read! If the guy really wants to wear one, do the following:
Make 2 of the long ties, but one with 300 sts (groan). With a yarn needle, weave the tie through the bottom
of the sack in the back part that would be next to the body, then from the middle of the sack to the other
side with one half of the tie and do the same with the other half, but in the opposite direction. This will
give "legs", like a jock strap. Then take the shorter of the two ties and weave it from the sack
half, through the front part and to the other side of the sack. Both ties then will go around the middle
the waist and be tied.
