This little onesie was the first thing we put on our daughter after she was born; I was determined to create a piece of clothing made of a nice and soft material that would keep her newborn body warm and comfortable.

A onesie that wraps around the baby is practical and simple; the perfect piece of clothing for a newborn. Use a lovely silk/alpaca blend for a summer baby and a warmer merino or alpaca for a winter baby.

What could possibly be better for your baby than getting wrapped up in a lovely hand knit onesie for the first few hours and days of life??

Use a lovely silk/alpaca blend for the summer baby and a warmer merino or alpaca for the winter baby. Along with a pair of warm socks and a hat, this is all the baby needs those first few days.

This is a completely new and revised pattern. I have added new sizes and the pattern is now sized from premature up to 24 months.
The pattern includes a new chart that covers the entire front and back panels. It has clear instructions including photos to help you knit this beautiful onesie.

Note however this is not a pattern for the faint of heart, it requires intermediate knitting skills and a clear head. There are a lot of details in this pattern and being knit all in one piece saves you the trouble of seaming but it can be a bit tricky get the started with.

The pattern is knit top down using ragland increase and the sleeves are knit on double pointed needles.
