This pattern has more photos to help you construct the onesie.I’d love to see pictures if you make this design! You can email them to, find me on Facebook or tag me on Instagram (I share a lot of sneak peeks on my IG!) Any worsted weight yarn will do for this design if you can get gauge, but if you really want a costume to pass down to any other babies in your life, check out the Malabrigo. I used Malabrigo Worsted for this design and I can’t say enough about how much I love Malabrigo yarns!! The colors are always amazing and the yarn is a dream to work with. You just want to be sure you have enough snaps to get the crotch area and the shoulder seam (two for the shoulder and three for the crotch) with enough area left around them to attach. It also sews in super easy, too, even if you aren’t good at sewing! It doesn’t take much – I even had some of the 1/4 yard left over. I just went to my local JoAnn store to the ribbon section and bought it by the yard. I wanted snaps like a regular onesie and thank goodness snap tape is out there. I want to be able to easily change a diaper without having to undo a ton of buttons, and, let’s face it – two buttons at the crotch area is not going to stay closed very well so larger buttons don’t work that great. It also fits really well since I used a onesie as a guide (we sure do have enough of them!) and the snap tape makes it easy to get baby in and out – something that a lot of knit and crocheted baby items don’t think about! I love how the little bat wings look attached to the body! I am starting to do more and more baby onesies and this is by far my favorite I’ve made to this point. We had fun shooting the photos for this design. I’m back at work as well and this is the best start to a semester I’ve ever had. We are back in school now and things are starting to settle into a routine (thankfully!!). I regularly publish in the two Prime Publishing magazines and you should check them out! This was originally designed for I Like Crochet magazine and I really love designing for them. Since the baby has already outgrown this I will have to find something else for him to wear this year but it’s a good excuse to crochet another cute costume.
It’s still super hot here in TN but I’m already thinking fall and thinking about what the boys want to be for Halloween. I’ll just have to find someone else’s little one to model for me! I love designing baby things, though, and even when we don’t have a baby in the house I will still keep making baby items. Maybe it’s because I know this is our last baby (I mean, four boys keep us plenty busy!) but I remember my other boys growing up quickly on me, too. Oh where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday we brought this little guy home from the hospital and now he is nine months old!! I took these pictures over the summer when he was smaller but time has just flown by so fast.
