What is so special about a baby pucksack?
A baby pucksack - also known as a swaddle bag or swaddler - gives newborn babies a feeling of security that they remember from mum's womb. Gently wrapped in such a sleeping bag, your baby's tummy and back stay warm like in a soft cocoon, which can have a calming effect, especially in the first weeks. Ideally it is used without additional socks so babies can enjoy a natural, even warmth. As your little one becomes more mobile, the baby sack can still be used as a romper bag - growing with your baby over several months.Which yarn should be used for knitting a baby swaddle bag?
Thanks to its natural temperature-regulating properties a soft yarn made from merino wool, alpaca or cashmere is particularly well suited for knitting swaddle bags or baby clothes in general. Ideally, choose untreated or sustainable organic wool - it keeps your baby warm in a natural way and lets you knit with a peace of mind.
