baby sleeper is done! I made up the pattern on my own with a dash of winging it. I'm really happy with how it came out 🥰 details below!

This project was inspired by a sleeper that my mom got for baby. it was convertible to have legs or to have it straight like a sleep sack. not sure how practical it is but I just really liked the concept and had to try it.

the sleeper is fastened with snaps. usually snaps aren't used in knitted garments because snaps put a lot of wear on button bands and they can rip right now. I reinforced them by knitting them in linen stitch and also sewing on fabric. very stable fabric for snaps.

I ended up knitting the sleeves pretty short and didn't do the fold over mitten like I mentioned in a previous note. I think it would have been too bulky since multiple layers are involved. I think these will be full or 3/4 sleeves. honestly, baby proportions are a mystery to me so who knows really.

I'm so glad to be done with it. It's so cute and now I can start another new knitting project!
