I have made every effort to ensure that this is an original pattern. If this pattern is akin to another one out there, it is purely by coincidence. I hope that I have written the instructions clearly. If you have any questions please feel free to pm me. Enjoy!

Thanks for the pattern! i have been wanting to do one.

it looks very nice.
can you give the overall size [length and width]?

[RaggedyAnn]

Thanks for sharing your pattern. Looks like it can be done fairly quickly. I need to get going on 2 baby gifts, both are boys & this seems like a good idea. (especially since I've dragged my feet) One of the little ones was just born the other day.

I love this! With all the neat patterns you folk post, I have quite a list of things 'to do'. This one is a must. Thank you so much.

I will post the overall size measurements soon. My house is in an uproar due to a new living room floor being installed. I will try to find both my sleep sack and a measuring tape tonight. Thank you all for your kind comments.

Okay, I measured it to be about 14 inches in length and about 9 1/2 inches in width. Hope that helps!
