Abbreviation: DH TAS
Size needed: base -1 or base size
Difficulty: Intermediate
Ideal for: toddlers, heavy babies
Not good for: short babies who want to see over your shoulder, determined leg-straighteners (you could modify it to make the first or second pass a cross pass if needed)
Pass sequence: rebozo pass, spread chest pass, another rebozo pass, then with the other tail, a horizontal pass
This is a nice carry, since figuring out how much off-center to start can be irritating at best. You start with baby centered on the middle marker, and the tails work out perfectly to tie at shoulder or make a candy cane chestbelt.
1. Pin the top rail tightly.
2. Form a deep seat
3. Gather the straps over shoulder and under arm
4. Strand-by-strand tighten
5. Bring the chest pass across, maintaining tension
6. Pass the wrap around your back to your other hand
7. Gather the tails in both hands…
08… and make an L pull, careful not to pop the seat
9. Pin the shoulder tail between your legs
10. Bring the other tail up onto your shoulder
11. Strand-by-strand tighten to make sure the seat doesn’t pop.
12. Take the tail you have been working with and pin between your legs
13. With the other tail, bring it around to your back
14. Hand it to your other hand and bring it up as high as you can
15. make sure the bottom rail is snug, going from knee-to-knee
16. Gather this tail up and strand-by-strand tighten
17. You could tie a square knot here, or…
18. …or twist to make a candy cane chest belt
