Snuggle Sack

I'm not always very specific, I don't read all the words in books, but I am very particular about my knitting. 

My first niece is due in weeks and I made her a special little sleep sack.  My sister refuses to have her naked for newborn pictures, so this gives her one option for capturing her cuteness in those first weeks.


I started the snuggie before Christmas and set it aside as I do many projects.  When digging it out yesterday I could not find the pattern :(  Checked my bag for a print - nope.  Checked my library on Ravelry - nope.  Checked my Knits board on Pinterest - SCORE!  Next problem, could not remember what row I was on.  After a couple rows of trial and error, I was back on track.

In finishing, it was tough to pin the sides in just the right spot.  I attempted a pink ribbon in place of the button but couldn't get it to lay quite right.  After three attempts with the button, I started clapping...I had found the sweet spot.

Here is the pattern for the sleep sack and for the matching hat.  Happy knitting!
