I'm continuing with my travel sleeping bag projects. Mom's was finished last week and I realized when I went back to Dad's post I didn't make some crucial notes. So I wanted to help myself for future projects.
You can find the free pattern for the adult and children sleeping bags here.
Notes:
I used a 1 mm crochet thread hook and size 10 crochet thread for this project.
The directions include both sizes listed in () for each size. If you are like me you need to make sure you are following the correct stitch count.
The row count resets for the pillow section.
I choose to add the pillows to my sleeping bags you can finish it flat if you choose. I need to remember more stuffing isn't better. This pillow is bigger than Dad's and it should be smaller. It needs to be barely stuffed to give the illusion, not the reality of a huge stuffed pillow.
Again this is a reminder for me, you need to sew the pillow closed after stuffing as the directions are some what vague about this issue while very clear about the actual formation of the pillow and closing the top of the pillow.The row count resets for the pillow section.
The pillow attaches to the sleeping layer closet to the pillow opening. I seem to have understood this the first time I made it but clearly things register differently on different days. This note just reminds me not to panic when I can't find the specific directions.
After finishing this bag I set up the sister sleeping bag in my travel project bag for upcoming appointments.
