Simple Footed Sleeper by Catherine Anfield
What is Being Made
The Simple Footed Sleeper is a newborn romper designed by Catherine Anfield of Lily B's. This knitted playsuit is intended to fit most newborns weighing 5-8 pounds or up to approximately 10 days old. When laid flat, the garment measures 7.5 inches at the waist and 11 inches from shoulder to crotch, making it an ideal size for newborn photography and everyday wear during the first days of life.
Craft and Techniques
This project is created using the knitting craft, specifically requiring the ability to knit in the round. The pattern is classified as intermediate difficulty, indicating that knitters should have foundational skills before beginning this project. The construction method of knitting in the round creates seamless fabric, which is particularly suitable for a fitted garment like a footed sleeper.
Yarn and Materials
The Simple Footed Sleeper is worked in worsted weight yarn, a medium-weight yarn that provides good stitch definition and a balanced fabric suitable for newborn garments. Knitting needles appropriate for worsted weight yarn and the in-the-round construction method are required to complete this project.
