This pattern was inspired by one of my ladies in the office who is due to have her baby at the end of the fall and wanted something to keep her little one warm in the winter. We looked a variety of patterns but they weren’t quite right so I set out to make my own.

This pattern can be made up with one large skein of about 300 grams of Aran acrylic wool or by 3 smaller 100 gram ones instead. By using acrylic wool you will have a nice stretch in the garment which will potentially last baby a little longer depending on their growth rate.

This pattern will fit a little one with a height of approximately 25 - 27” with a little room of movement, extra blankets or cuddly toys.
