Last night I finished the Owlie Sleep Sack that technically I won’t call it a sleep sack because you can’t leave the baby unattended in it because it’s not flame retardant and approved for infant sleepwear but I can see it being nice and cozy for keeping the baby warm in a stroller.
It was quick and fun to make. Once the little sack is blocked and the matching cap is knitted, I’ll maybe use some brown yarn to make some eyes and they will look more like owls.
The yarn is Madelinetosh DK and the color is Tomato.

you are going to have the luckiest/cutest/most adorable grand baby!!!!!!

You are such a fast knitter. I ordered yarn for the Camp Loopy first project but I can’t imagine I can complete it in the time allowed. I am going to try!
This will be perfect for the baby!

Very nice Judy. Your stitches look so nice and even. I noticed that the design at the top was indeed owls when you mentioned adding eyes. Nice job.

Very cute! I love the owls!

That is *SO* cute!
Is it wool? Because wool’s got some natural flame retardent properties. Honestly, I didn’t stress too much about what was and wasn’t approved for infant sleepwear.

I think once the flame retardent clothes are washed they are no longer flame retardent. I would stay away from anything that is poly cotton because the poly melts into the skin but cotton will just burn away.
When’s the grandbaby due?

I forgot to say I love the knit baby sack with the owls.

Can’t wait to see what all you come up with.

Great job! I love that sack and hat pattern. I’ve made a few in worsted weight cotton that are great for after bath time for baby. Gotta love those Owlies! Congrats Grandma!

Ohhh, that is cute. I really need to make one because it’s so cute. Then I’ll just wait for someone to have a baby. Someone’s always having a baby.
