Barrel o' Monkey
Introducing our cozy and adorable snuggle sack and cap knitting pattern, designed specifically for infants aged newborn to 3 months. This charming cocoon-shaped garment ensures that your wiggly baby remains snug and secure while being carried, nursed, rocked, or comfortably strapped into an infant carrier. The innovative design of the sack is knit in the round as one continuous piece from the top down, featuring short-row shaping for enhanced coverage against drafts, especially at the back of the neck.
The accompanying cap comes in two sizes (Small/Large) and is also crafted in the round, allowing you the freedom to either match the snuggle sack or create a delightful contrast with a different color. This versatility adds a personal touch to your baby's outfit, helping them stay warm and stylish during outings or cuddle sessions.
When it comes to yarn choices, substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size. We showcase our design using Ecobutterfly Organics Pakucho Organic Cotton Worsted in vibrant Deep Green and Poppy, as well as Knitting Notions Organic Cotton in a soft Vanilla shade. These eco-friendly yarns not only offer comfort but are also gentle on your baby's delicate skin. We provide a list of suggested alternative yarns to help you find the perfect material for your project.
As a reminder, please never leave a baby unattended while wearing a cuddle sack, and note that this garment is not intended for sleeping. With our simple yet effective pattern, you can create a beautiful and functional piece that ensures your little one stays warm and cozy during any activity. Start knitting your snuggle sack and cap today, and create lasting memories of cuddles with your precious baby!
