Owlie Sleep Sack
Every new little one needs to cuddle up and be warm. Everyone knows a happy baby is
made by snuggling and swaddling in some comfy single ply merino.
Below is a pattern for a sleep sack with owlies on the top.
Simple enough really.
This is one size. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE SLEPT IN. Never leave your baby
unattended in a sleep sack.

I am knitting this and love it so far (50%) done. While knitting I think that I
came across a mistake in the directions? In owl cablework it says- Round 2: P1,
*P2, C4F, C4B, P1 repeat from * top end.
I *think* the mistake is that after C4B it should be P2, not P1 as indicated?
I knit the owl cables with the P2 in Round 2 and it turned out beautiful.
Thank you and I am sorry if I am the one that made the mistake.
FEBRUARY 20, 2010 10:39 AM
Your right, Jamie! Thanks for pointing that out! I'll fix it now.
Please note: Yardage estimates in comments is wrong. It should be 150-200
yards.

Where can I find the pattern for the matching hat? I am halfway through the
sack and love it.
Thank you.

Where can I find the pattern for the hat that matches the sack?
MARCH 15, 2010 4:52 PM
Its actually very simple. Click on my "Super Natural Stripes Beanie" pattern. Knit
that in the smallest size replacing the stripes with the exact owl pattern from the
sleep sack. I don't remember, but you probably need to fiddle with the number of
purls between some of the owls, because the owls are done in multiples of 8 for
the owl itself, plus the purl rows. I think I had to have some of the purls have
different counts, if that makes sense at all.

I was wondering why you say not to let a baby sleep in the sleep sack all night,
isn't that what is for, so baby doesn't get uncovered during the night?
MARCH 20, 2010 4:10 PM
I don't recommend sleeping in them as there is no way to prevent a baby from
wiggling down in to the sack and suffocating. Just as doctors recommend not
using blankets for the first year for the same fear.
The sleep sacks made for sleeping usually have sleeves or are tied under the arms
to prevent the baby from going down into the sack. I know when my girl, Hollis,
was fresh out of the oven a couple of weeks ago, the sleep sack easily came up
over her head.
Now that she is larger, I will let her sleep in it attended. But I still do not risk her
wiggling down into it and it covering her face.
Hope that helps.

This is the cutest little thing. I knit it up this weekend using Berroco Touche' and
a size 6 needle. The gauge wasn't exact, but it seems like it is large enough
around. I used just over 200 yards. It feels quite heavy but oh so soft. This was
my first cabling project. Your instructions were easy to follow and I now feel
much more confident with the idea of doing cables...hooray! Thanks for such a
great little pattern. It is in my pattern list for upcoming baby events, if there are
any!

Kellye said...
How do I modify the owls to do them bottom up for the little hat? Can you
literally reverse the pattern?
APRIL 11, 2010 10:55 PM
I posted a pattern for the hat on my blog!

Is there any way to beg someone to make a short video to show how to do the
C4F and C4B as I just can not picture it?
APRIL 22, 2010 2:31 AM
There are videos via YouTube.
Here is one.

If you google cables, there is a wealth of information. I, unfortunately, do not
have that capability.

I've made the pattern and I love it. I'm making the sack and hat for my to-beborn grandson. The sack worked up to 14.5 inches long without rolling up the
edge. Should it be longer? It's a long time since I've been around a newborn.
MAY 7, 2010 11:01 AM
Sounds about right. The length is only suppose to up to the underarms, but
remember they are really all balled up at first, knees pulled up so they fit in it
nicely.

When you say "Bind off first stitch to close gap", what kind of bind off are you
using?
The pattern is beautiful, by the way!

I'm new to knitting cables but thought I understood what to do. However, I'm
stumped on your round 2: P1, *P2, C4F, C4B, P2 repeat from * to end. What do I
do here? I know I purl 2, slip 4 stitches onto a cable needle at the front of the
knitting, slip 4 stitches onto a cable needle to the back of the knitting but then
what? Please help!
JUNE 29, 2010 8:41 AM
Sorry, I meant to put the abbreviations on the top of the pattern and forgot.
The cables are actually basic 2x2 cables. You slip to the the cable need front and
knit the next two, the knit the cable stitches. Same for the back.

This is my first cable project and I have a question about reading the pattern. The
repeats have me a little confused... for example in round 1 (*P2, K8, P2)
translates to P2, K8, P2, P2, K8, P2, P2, K8, P2 and so on until the end of the
row-- in other words, I'm actually purling 4 stitches in a row (P2 twice). Or am I
reading that wrong? Am I actually doing P2, K8, P2, K8, P2, K8 etc? Sorry for
the newbie question. I hope you can help! Thank you. :-)
AUGUST 21, 2010 10:00 PM
You have it right! You will be purling 4 in a row!

Seunga said...
I can't wait to start this project for my son on the way! Sorry if I missed it above,
but how many skeins of the Malabrigo Worsted will I need to purchase?
SEPTEMBER 27, 2010 4:29 PM
For just the sleep sack, you will only need one skein. I was able to almost
complete the hat as well with the same skein. I needed about 30 yards from a
second skein to finish the hat.
Holly said...
This is truly adorable. Thanks for the pattern!
Meredith, Bucky and Ty said...
This is adorable! I started the project this weekend and am through the cables,
onto the stockinette stitch section. It seems small, despite knitting to gage. Babe
will fit inside, but I'm sure it will be stretched and not as pictured. I'm wondering
if the baby pictured was very small? I'm just deciding if I want to rip out what I
have and add an extra owl cable repeat. Thanks! Such a cute pattern!

Is there an error on row 17? To make mine look like the picture, this is what I
did on that row:
p1, p4, *k4, p8, repeat from * to end of row.

Just finished! I love it, but have not blocked many projects. What technique
would you suggest for this?
Lesley
JANUARY 7, 2011 2:22 PM
Lesley,
Get the sleep sack nice in wet by dunking it in a sink full of cool water.
Then press out the excess water. Roll the sleep sack in a towel to get the rest of
the extra water out. Then lay it flat on a table, shape it and let it dry.
I also pin down some things on the foam kids mats.

I printed this pattern in late Jan & have done 4 this is a great project. I did mine
in 2 days. I did my own hat & fit the pattern in fine. I did 60 stitches on 2
circular needles did the Owl pattern in the reverse. The hat came out great.

Owl pattern & everyone I did it for loved it. I use the 2 circular needles all the
time for the cocoon also, Theresa NJ

My brother is expecting his first child in Oct., and this is the PERFECT pattern
for me to knit as a gift. I am ready to finish the sleep sack but have run into a
problem. I still have 85 sts on my needles, but I end up having an extra st when I
follow the K2Tog, SM, SSK repeition and don't know if I'm understanding the
pattern correctly to decrease. The pattern refers to the "last 2 sts before the first
marker." Which marker is this? The one I placed to indicate the beginning of the
round or the one that was placed one st back to start setting up the decreases?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Can you pease translate the yarn and the neadle size into european terms?
Marie said...
How many gram yarn is used, at what quality?
Tiara said...
My question involves the decreasing.
When you get to the end of round one, do you knit2tog for the last two stitches
or knit them separately? As for round 2, do you knit all the way around or do you
knit to the last two stitches and k2tog?
When I got to the end of the pattern and finished my decreases, the "decrease
line" where the last stitch & first stitch of my rounds met was very loose and I'm
not sure if it's because I didn't do the decreases right...
NurseJulie said...
Another question about the blocking. WHen you say "block to open up your
owls", does that mean to "open up their eyes"? Or does blocking make the owls
themselves pop out more somehow?
It turned out really cute, but I have to tell people that the owls are owls so
anything I can do to make them more "owly" would be great.
THanks!

I have the same problem as Alexis: "My brother is expecting his first child in

but I end up having an extra st when I follow the K2Tog, SM, SSK repeition and

not see an answer. Also, am I suppose to have 8 sts left? I would really like to
finish this project before Christmas. Thanks, Ellen
Sorry I didn't see these before Christmas. Hope you were able to finish.
For the blocking question, if you google "wet block knitting" you should be able
to track down a photo tutorial. Basically, you just soak the garment in water and
pin it down so that the cables open up and don't squeeze together.
As for the decreasing. Your round should start two stitches before the first
marker. I indicated that this marker should be contrasting the others for clarity.
It has been a very long time since I knit this pattern. I think you have 15 sts at
the end. You should have 85 stitches and you place a marker every 17 stitches.
Decrease until there are three between each set.
GrandmaJen said...
Am I missing something? How much yarn do I buy to make this? I see that it is
worsted could I use cotton?
DECEMBER 31, 2011 11:33 AM
Malabrigo is a single ply wool yarn. You need one skein for the sack. You will
have extra. It averages about $11/skein. If you want the matching hat, get two
skeins.
rooksinn said...
Hi, I am just a beginner knitter and am not ready for cable - can I knit this
without the owls at the top? Maybe a rib? Although I like the 'roll' at the top.
How would I adjust the pattern to omit the cable owls? Thank you!
JANUARY 1, 2012 12:53 PM
Hi there....it would be easy enough to adjust. Cast on as normal and when it gets
to the owls, just ignore it and knit to the final length of the garment.
