Pajamas For Baby

As you know I have been doing a series of what I like to call Sweat Pea Outfits.  They are really sleep bags for infants.
This one uses what is called the long wave
 pattern in crochet.
This one was done in a series of stripes.

This one has the same testured stitch as used in the stripe
 Sweet Pea but features a large and lovely flower for
both the outfit and the hat


My favorite one and probably fansist looking
 one features a knotted ribbon bow.






The last one in my series features cute lilac
 and blue flowers each with a French knot belly buttom.

















What all of these Sweet Pea Outfits have in commom is the overlaping shoulder tecnique I use in order to make an expanding head opening so the outfits are easy to go over baby's head.
I have a tutorial on how to do that here.

These are adorable! I have made a few from other patterns. But I love you patterns with the double folded shoulder design for easy on-off.
