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.
This is my place to share my love of crochet, knitting and other crafts I like to do. Also sharing my love of pets and my caravan. Life is tough and we all need to escape at some time, even if it's just playing with squishy yarn or taking the dogs for a walk in the countryside. Life is too short so do what you LOVE to do x
