A timeless set of knits to keep your baby safe and warm Meadowsweet Sleep Sack and Bonnet feature squishy garter and flowing cables. The relaxed Sleep Sack has cables up each front, surrounded by garter stitch. A slit in the lower back allows for easy use with a 5-point harness. While Sleep Sacks often have a hood I designed a Bonnet for ultimate warmth and comfort. The symmetrical cable band runs around the front Bonnet with the garter stitch gathering to the back.
Heirloom knitting at its finest.
