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.
