This cute sleeper suit is perfect for the holiday season. I designed it to look like the popular “elf on the shelf”. However, it can be made in any color combinations to create endless themes and looks.

I do suggest a light weight yarn or even sport/DK to obtain gauge as the Universal I used was on the thin side.
