Angel Baby Sleeping Bag

Today's new pattern is a small angel baby sleeping bag.

You will need 4mm hook and approximately 25g of DK wool.

Finished size approximately 4.25" x 6.5"

Button holes are optional, the sleeping bag can also be closed with ribbon, but if you use buttons like in the photo, you would make them on rows 2 and 12.

Row 1: chain 19, then starting from the 2nd chain from the hook, work 1htc in each stitch to end, ch1 and turn = 18 stitches.

Row 2: 1htc in 1st st, ch1, skip 1, 1htc in each stitch to last 3 stitches, ch1, skip 1, 1htc in last 2 stitches, ch1 and turn.

Rows 3 - 11: 1htc in each stitch to end, ch1 and turn.

Row 12: repeat row 2 to make buttonholes.

Rows 13 - 35: 1htc in each stitch to end, ch1 and turn.

Row 36: 2htctog, 1htc in each stitch to last 2 stitches, 2htctog = 16 Sts

Row 37: 2htctog, 1htc in each stitch to last 2 stitches, 2htctog = 14 Sts

Row 38: 2htctog, 1htc in each stitch to last 2 stitches, 2htctog = 12 Sts

Row 39: 2htctog, 1htc in each stitch to last 2 stitches, 2htctog = 10 Sts

Fasten off and sew up the 10 Sts on last row to form a hood. Weave in ends, sew on buttons and embellish if required.

This pattern can be made larger by chaining 25 or 31 at the beginning, work a few extra rows and move buttonholes to rows 2 and 16.

New Challenges

Hi

Sharing my new pattern and a new challenge.  I have been extremely busy over the last 2 years and have put myself under unnecessary pressure to make and sell my crochet.  I have now decided that selling isn't for me.  So from here on my patterns will be published on my blog for FREE for you to make and donate to charity or for your own personal use.

 I have a huge stash of wool and crafty goodies and I have decided that it will be used for charity which I will share along the way here and on my Facebook page.  I have a stash busting 5000 items to make and donate, to various charities around the UK.

My first pattern in along while is a knitting pattern. I wanted an easy go to pattern that is easily re-sized.

This version measures 15.5" x 15.5" but is easily made smaller or larger by - / + 7 stitches and -/+ pattern rows.

You will need 70g of any DK wool and 4mm needles
