Twin Stitch Sleep Bag and Hat


I decided to use my favorite stitch, twin stitch, to make a newborn sleep bag. I used the first 7 rounds from the wavy sleep bag pattern from Suzies Stuff web site, and the twin stitch in rounds for the rest. The hat pattern is found on Gods Tiny Angels web site. I wrote the pattern down as follows:
