I've run out of Bookmarks in Greasy again and I'm getting tired of asking Eddie for more so I thought I'd start posting some patterns here instead.{#giveflowers.gif}

{#happy.gif}Well welcome back.This is lucky for us here in Blogster.I will get the word out for others to visit your blog.I'm happy to see you nittin....{#happy2.gif}

Hi Marg! it's nice to see something at the top of the most visited besides boring politics!

Nice to see you again!  These are so cute!

Please don't advertise on my blog.  Thank you.

The only problem is - I don't crochet.  How about the loom knit pattern:  http://nittineedles.blogster.com/baby-cuddle-sack-on-loom-free-pattern  A loom is pretty cheap to buy.  I got mine at Wal-Mart.  Couldn't you just crochet a hat/bag that is approx. 8 inches X 20 inches?

Thank you so much.  I have even more free patterns at my other blog:  http://greasy.com/nittineedles/   Just scroll done to 'My Bookmarks' on the left side of the page.  Enjoy.

I just used some leftovers but according to the ball bands the Cuddle Sack took approx. 262m/286 yds.

Good question.{#help.gif}

What ever length is needed to hold 44 stitches.  Circumference of the sack is 16 inches.

That sounds like the way to do it.  I would have tried it on my kids but my babies are all grown up.

This should help you.  http://www.knitting-naturally.com/yarn-comparison-chart.html 

Aran weight would probably work with this pattern, too.

You're welcome.{#flowre.gif}

If you are going to use size 8 needles you will need to cast on more stitches.  I used worsted weight because I like the better choices in colours.  If you want the softness and colours of baby yarn you could knit with four strands together. 

I haven't tried that but be daring and experiment.

When it gets long enough it stops twisting around the needles.

I'm so glad you like it.

Approx. 263m/285 yds

You're welcome and double Congratulations!

This is sized for a newborn but you could cast on extra stitches for a bigger baby.

You're welcome.  {#flowre.gif}

You're welcome. :)

Yes, I do.  My on-line store is here:  www.blujay.com/Nittineedles

MATERIALS: 150g/5.3 oz worsted weight yarn

16 inches

I'm so glad you like this pattern, Maren.  You have my permission to knit as many as you want for charitable purposes.{#giveflowers.gif}

WHOOO HOOO, they are back, all your anon comments. Very cool. My test on is back too... now I wish I could remember on what posts my other ones were on.

Did anyone else have this problem or was the Team just picking on Margarets?{#flag.gif}

LOL, I think everyone had it.. but I was the only whiny one.:) Glad your anons came back, the way it was it looked as if you might have been typing to yourself. LOL

Hi Janet.  The 5.3 oz is the equivalent of 150g.  I show the imperial measures for the benefit of the people in the United States which hasn't switched to the metric system.  We certainly do live in different parts of the world.  I'm on Vancouver Island on Canada's west coast. 

I read somewhere that British Double Knit is the same as worsted weight.

Hi again Janet.  I'm sure there is a baby bottle warmer pattern in my vintage pattern books but I'm not at home.  I'm visiting my mother for a few days.  I'll find the pattern and post it later this week.  I too never learneed to crochet........too busy knitting.{#flag.gif}
