Precious little ones deserve snuggly, cozy hand knit items to wear! This simple design is perfect for wrapping up a tiny bundle for nap time cuddles or special first photos.

Quick and easy to knit, Nap Time Onesies make lovely, treasured gifts.

Construction
Seamless, knit bottom up starting with the legs and finishing at the shoulders. Stitches are placed on hold and re-worked as live knit to avoid any need for uncomfortable seams. A bit of extra room is built in the backside for diapers.

Size
Newborn, fits babies 0-3 months depending on individual size

Technique
MagicLoop is my favorite for knitting baby garments in the round. DPNs may be used if preferred.

Needles
2 needle sizes are used - smaller needles for the ankle cuffs and ribbed edging, and larger needles for the body.
Needle sizes are recommendations, please adjust as needed for the yarn you choose.

Yarn
Fingering weight, or 4 ply weight yarn - either one 100g skein or two 50g skeins are needed. I recommend any soft, squishy yarn that is washable for new parents.

Sample is knit with West Yorkshire Spinners Bo Peep Luxury Baby 4ply in color: Teddy Bear.
