This is the third hospital themed cosy and was inspired by one of favourite TV series!

The cosy body is knitted using two strands of Stylecraft DK, I also made the cosy body using Hayfield bonus and this resulted in a slightly bigger cosy.

All other pieces are knitted using single strand DK. The baby’s arms are created by making an i-cord on two DPNs

it is worked flat and seamed.

The buckle is a filigree embellishment which can be purchased online or via me on the Cosypot makers group. There are knitted instructions for a buckle included

I used 20g polystuffing and 6mm eyes.
