Choosing Yarn for Maximum Comfort
The pattern uses Red Heart Soft Touch Solids acrylic worsted-weight yarn. It’s known for its softness and delicate touch, perfect for baby’s skin. The author suggests a powder yellow colorway for a subtle, warm look, but any pastel tone will also do the trick.
To achieve the gauge, you will need three skeins of yarn for this project plus 3.5 mm and 4 mm hooks. To make your bunting fully functional prepare eight 14 mm buttons for securing the front panel.
Crocheting the Cozy Bunting
This crochet onesie pattern is an intermediate-level project that will best fit those who have gained some experience. It is designed for 0-6-month-olds and features a beautiful shell stitch pattern that offers an elegant texture.
Work this bunting from the bottom up to create a snug cocoon for the infant’s body. The pattern also includes instructions for crocheting a charming hood to keep the baby’s head warm. For parents on the go, the easy-to-use front closure makes the bunting functional while adding a cute touch.
Washing and Caring
If you make your bunting with acrylic yarn, your garment will be easy to care for, even with frequent use. Wash it gently in a machine and dry on low heat in a dryer. This way, it will stay soft to the touch and retain both its form and size without distortion.
