This worsted weight, footless newborn sleeper knitting pattern features a gusset, a built in button band, and ribbed cuffs which can be worn up or down.

The pattern was created with the newborn photographer and photo prop vendor in mind, as well as the reborn doll artist or collector. The finished product is to be used as a prop in newborn photography sessions or to add to your baby doll’s wardrobe.

It is not intended to be used as an every day article of baby clothing.

It is worked top down, raglan style, using your favourite worsted weight yarn and 5mm (US8) needles.
