Tip from a photographer: If you’re going to knit this, try to use dull or muted colors. Babies have bright skin, so anything with glitter or that is bright in color will not compliment them well in baby pictures.

I started knitting this for my baby while laboring in the hospital. Did not get it finished until about a month after he was born.

I alternated every 8 rows with gray and white. Pattern called for 12 inches in length, however I found that to be too short and knitted my sleep sack to approximately 17 inches (my son was 20” when he was born).

Very easy and relatively quick knit.
