Hand Knit Snuggle Sack
A snuggle sack isn’t your ordinary
blanket; it’s like swaddling without
the careful wrapping. These snuggle
sacks are becoming more and more
popular over the past couple years
and are an excellent shower gift.
It’s like giving a baby blanket with
significantly less knitting! Here’s how
to make a hand knit snuggle sack…
A trendy baby shower gift
skill level easy
finished measurements 17" x 13"
materials
1 ball Cutie Pie in color Destiny (Color A)
1 ball Cutie Pie in color Splash (Color B)
1 ball Cutie Pie in color Koala (Color C)
1 circular needle US 7 [4.5mm] 16''
1 set double pointed needles US 7
[4.5mm]1 tapestry needle
This pattern is knit in the round with
the yarn held double. I wound the
skeins into two separate balls and
worked from there, but you can also
work from a strand pulled from the
inside and a strand pulled from the
outside. There’s a much greater
chance of tangles, but it can be done.
This pattern is for a large snuggle
sack for 8 to 12 month old, if you’re
attempting to make a newborn size,
subtract 20 stitches and 2" in length
for each color block. In the pattern I’ll
be writing color A, B and C; if you wish
to change the colors simply switch
them out and follow the pattern.
