Knotted Sleeper

$8.00
 

The knotted sleeper is an amazing staple for newborns and babies who cannot walk yet! Sizes go from Preemie to 12M. For the neck finish you have the option of a crew neck or placket. To finish the sleeves you can choose between cuffs or mittens. This sleeper is our favorite on little babies because it makes those night time diaper changes a breeze! 

Pattern Type:
PDF - letter/A0/Projector (Includes Layered Pattern and Instructions)

Skill Level:
Advanced Beginner (intermediate for the placket)

Sizes & Fabric Quantity:
Preemie - 3/6M: 1 Yard
6M-12M: 1 1/2 Yard

Additional Details:
I love to use cotton lycra knit or jersey knit for this sleeper! Any knit will work but if you use a lightweight knit the placket can be trickier. If you want the crew neck option I also suggest a knit that has a little more stretch so that it's easier to get over babies head! 

Once payment has gone through you will be able to download your files immediately! You will also receive both a confirmation email and an email with a link to download your files.

A quick note before you dive in: Our patterns include multiple files so you can sew the way you like—at home on a printer, at a copyshop (A0), or with a projector.

Quick answers

  • After checkout, you can download your pattern from the confirmation page, from the email we send, or anytime under Account → My Downloads using the same email you purchased with.
  • Your files come in a .zip. It’s easiest to download on a computer, unzip, and you’ll see: Instructions, Letter/A4, A0, and a Projector file.
  • Printing at home? Open the Letter/A4 PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader and print at 100% (Actual Size), then check the test square.
  • Prefer no paper? Use the Projector file. It includes a calibration layer so you can confirm scale before you cut.
  • Need a big print? Send the A0 file to a local copyshop or an online printer.
  • If you get stuck, email hello@lowlandkids.com and we'll be happy to help!


Downloads & accounts


How do I get my files?
Right after payment you’ll see a download button on the confirmation page. We also email you links in your order confirmation email. And you can log in to our website any time and find everything under View Downloads.

What pattern files are included?
Four PDFs: Instructions, Letter/A4 (home printing), A0 (copyshop), and Projector.

Can I download on my phone or tablet?
Yes! Check out our Printing and Projector tips page for specific guidance.


Projector sewing (quick start)


Do your patterns include projector files?
Yes—our current catalog includes projector-optimized files for nearly all patterns. You’ll see “Projector” listed in each download.

How do I check scale?
Open the Projector file and turn on the calibration layer. Confirm the 1” / 2.5 cm squares measure correctly. If you move your projector or cutting surface, re-check before you cut.

Any setup tips?
Keep the text/markers layer visible. If labels look faint, check your PDF viewer’s accessibility settings and disable “replace document colors.” You can also enable the black background layer for higher contrast.


Print-at-home (Letter/A4)

1. Open the Letter/A4 PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
2. In the print dialog, choose Actual Size (100%) and auto portrait/landscape.
3. Print the page with the test square first; measure to confirm scale.

Troubleshooting:
  • If the whole pattern prints on a single page, you likely opened the wrong file (use Letter/A4, not A0 or Projector).
  • If lines look fuzzy or misaligned, try “Print as image,” make sure your printer driver is up to date, and restart your computer.


Copyshop / A0

Download the A0 file and send it to a copyshop or an online service. Many sewists print a single master copy and trace sizes as needed.

Note that we protect our patterns by locking the pdf files to prevent editing in tools like Adobe Illustrator. In rare circumstances copy shops might use software that invisibly requests edit access and will show errors when attempting to open our files. 


Layers (print only the sizes you need)

All patterns include layers. Open the Layers panel in Acrobat Reader and hide sizes you don’t need. This keeps lines clear and makes grading between sizes easier.


Sizing & skill level

Each product page shows the skill level and links to the size chart. If measurements land between sizes, it’s common to use the width of one size and the length of another.


What machines do I need?

A regular sewing machine is all you need to start. A serger is optional but great for knit fabrics and tidy seams. A coverstitch is helpful for professional hems but not required.


Can I sell what I make?

Yes—items must be sewn by you personally. Mass production or outsourcing isn’t allowed. For manufacturing inquiries, email us.


Need help?

We’re happy to troubleshoot downloads, printing, or projector setup. Email hello@lowlandkids.com and include your order email and a screenshot of your issue if you can.

Nice Pattern, Good Price

My daughter wanted the knotted gowns so I purchased this pattern and was not disappointed at all. Instructions are well written and easy to follow. I purchased other patterns but didn't review because I haven't made them yet but I'm sure they'll be great too. Good price as well. As with most to all of these printable patterns (not just here), I wish the smaller pieces could be combined onto one sheet of paper so there wasn't so much waste. I'm sure it's a software thing but it would be nice if the software allowed the users to move pieces around like you can do with my quilting software. It does come with the files for A0 and projector though if have the capabilities for it or want to pay for it. Regardless, I'm quite happy with my purchase.

I used a scrap of cotton Lycra I've had in my stash forever. Took me a minute to get the button closure right. It's new born size and so tienie tiny that some of it was a struggle but we got there in the end. Can't wait to gift it to the new babe xx
