My son never keeps his blankets on for long at night. We live in an old drafty house and I worry about him getting cool and waking up. I looked around at the stores for a sleep sack that would fit him, but none came in his size. Since I don’t sew it occurred to me that I could knit one up in a jiffy. I used the yarn I had on hand, and since I thought this was never going to be seen by people outside the house, I didn’t care what it looked like. I decided to make it a little roomy so that he had space to squirm while sleeping and so that it would fit all winter long.

You will need either 3 skeins of three different colors or 2 skeins each of two colors. Please check the pattern for further information.
