Chevron Baby Sleep Sack

donita

As promised, here is the crochet pattern for the Chevron Sleep Sack!!

Chevron Baby Sleep Sack

Finished measurements: 15” long x 9” wide (flat)
Materials:
  • worsted weight yarn (shown in Bernat Satin, flamingo & lavender) Main color: 75 grams, Contrasting color: 55 grams
  • Size I/9 hook or size needed to achieve gauge
  • yarn needle

Gauge:
14 st = 4 in. in double crochet
20 st = 4 in. in half double crochet
1 chevron pattern repeat = 2 ½ in.
Row gauge is not critical for this project – if you find you’ve established your desired length before you’ve completed the stripes, simply finish the current stripe & skip to the edging directions.
Notes:
·         You can carry yarn up the inside of the sack to avoid weaving in a dozen ends.
·        Please do not leave baby unattended in this sleep sack.

  1. This is an adorable idea! I have one problem, I am on the second round of the chevron part, and when you go around a second time the 3hdc together are not lining up with the previous ones and the skip2 are not lining up with the previous round skip2's…..when looking at the pic of yours it looks like the 'holes' from where you skip 2 all line up perfect…..is there something I am missing??
