Generique - Bat costume for babies - Classic- 0-6 months (58-66 cm)

Product Information

Row 5: Ch 3, (dc in next 3 dc, 2 dc in next dc, ch 2) twice, dc in next 3 dc, 2 dc in next dc, turn – 15 sts. I made each ear by sewing together two triangles of fabric, turning inside out and sliding over the top of wire-framed ear shapes I had attached to a headband. When this picture was taken he was almost a year old. Keep in mind that a lot of those onesies are super stretchy and crochet isn’t. 🙂 That’s one thing I have to keep in mind when using onesies as guides for baby clothes.

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. I wanted snaps like a regular onesie and thank goodness snap tape is out there. Cut a small rectangle out of the center of the top of the fabric, about half the measurement of their arm circumference deep, to make a space for the child’s head. I am starting to do more and more baby onesies and this is by far my favorite I’ve made to this point. I love how the little bat wings look attached to the body! My first great grandson will be born in mid-October and my granddaughter wants a bat outfit for him. I love your little onsie and so did she. To knit this in a newborn size, how and where would you adapt it? I am also thinking in terms of making it into a cocoon rather than as a onsie, so I plan to put a drawstring at the bottom rather than snaps.

I am a member and had already gone to the library. All I can find is the pattern for the onesie. No bat hat pattern. I don’t understand the arm hole shaping?? Where am I putting these stitches to start it?? The top of the last row I crocheted? Thank you, Jamie

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. Hi Meaghan. I haven’t sized it down for a newborn but you could try making it with a smaller hook. 🙂 Row 11: Ch 3, (dc in next 9 dc, 2 dc in next dc, ch 2) twice, dc in next 9 dc, 2 dc in next dc, turn – 33 sts. Hi! If I wanted to do this for newborn, how would I decrease my number of chains/ stitches? Thank you!Row 6: Ch 3, (2 dc in next dc, dc in next 4 dc, ch 2) twice, dc in next 4 dc, 2 dc in next dc, turn – 18 sts.
