Instead of struggling with wrapping baby in a blanket that keeps coming undone, place baby into a crochet Baby Sack where they will stay comfortably wrapped.  If it is cold, you can even wrap the baby in a receiving blanket before placing them in the sack providing an extra secure feeling for baby.

Craft Supplies:

• Worsted weight yarn, 6oz
• Size H crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Small amount of contrasting color yarn

Our baby sack is modeled by Dylan from Lynn, MA
