This pattern is so adorable and so simple. If you’re confident beginner knitter who knows how to knit in the round, work basic increases and has some scrap yarn around then around you’ll really love this. Let’s get to it and knit a baby!

Techniques and Abbreviations: Cast on (co), knit stitch (k), ktbl (knit through the back loop of the stitch), knit into the front and back of the stitch (kfb), bo (bind off), stitches (sts). You’ll need to know how to knit in the round using circular needles or double-pointed needles and how to join invisibly by casting on an extra stitch.

Yarn: Less than 15g of DK yarn (I used Hobbii Olivin in 04 and Sirdar Happy Cotton in Sandcastle) in two colours, yarn one and yarn two. For the sleeping bag you’ll need less than 15g of DK yarn, preferably 100% wool or a wool blend. I used Hobbii Friends Wool in 24.

Tools: 3.5 mm longer-length circular needles for the magic loop method or double pointed needles, a stitch marker, scissors, a small amount of scrap yarn or toy filling for stuffing, two safety toy eyes or embroidery thread if you prefer sewn on eyes.
