A perfect photo prop for holiday photo shoots, these Gingerbread Baby Sleepers adorably dress a baby as the famous winter cookie. Choose between the footie or gown version and top with a hat, bow tie or holiday sash (patterns included) for the perfectly sweet dress-up outfit. Skills required for this knit are changing colors, jogless stripes, decreasing, knitting flat, knitting in the round, increasing, picking up stitches, ribbing, sewing on buttons, Stockinette Stitch and making button holes.

One size, this sleeper fits 0-6 months (loose fit around the legs), and adjustments are included to knit a smaller size (premie/newborn). Originally designed for a photo prop, the pattern includes adjustments for functional wear, such as lengthening the button opening, footless footies, opening on the gown (for diaper changes) and added snaps.

Mix and match accessories or knit in alternative colors or any holiday.
