Sew up this cute Snuggler swaddle pattern from Lotta Jansdotter. This pattern is featured in her new book Simple Sewing for Baby: 24 Easy Projects for Newborns to Toddlers (published by Chronicle Books). You can check out my review of the book here. Swaddling is known to make babies feel safe like they are in the womb and helps them sleep better at night. You can sew this cute Snuggler pattern up this weekend!
Update 4/7/10: We’ve updated the PDF with a tiled pattern that works for printing with standard-sized printer paper.

This looks like a great pattern. It would be nice to have assembly instructions(although that could be in the book). Thanks

I just downloaded the PDF again to test and the instructions are there. If you are in Preview on a mac, it doesn’t show up in the nav for the sidebar. Just scroll down with the arrow keys and you’ll see from page 2 on the instructions are there with the patterns at the end.

Wow, I was so excited to find this pattern but I just can’t download it. I got my MIL to try and she can’t download it either from her computer. I can get the first page of the pdf up ok and then it just freezes and does no more. Any chance you could email me the pdf?
Thanks so much
Agnes

I can’t get the pattern to download either, it keeps saying the file is damaged and can’t be repaired.
Can you reload?
Thanks

I am trying to print the pattern on my home printer – which only prints on 8.5×11 paper. Any hints on how to print out the tiled pattern? When I printed it out, taped it together and measured, there is no way the finished proeduct will sew up to be 20 inches long x 11 inches wide.
If I printed out the single page version, how much do I have to increase it by on a copier to get the correct sizing?
Thanks!!

Hi I am unable to download this pattern. All I get is the first page of the PDF file and then it stops, because of a file error, could you possibly send it to my email? My sister is having a scheduled c-section next week, and he is preemie. I would LOVE to make her one of these, cuz it looks perfect!

This is a large 10MB pattern file that is probably too large to view automatically in your browser. Your browser is probably timing out. Just right click and download the PDF to your desktop. (or if you are on a Mac, hold down the control key, and choose “download linked file”) I just downloaded it and it’s fine on my computer and i’m away now in NY.

Hi,
I just tried to download the pdf file for the baby swaddle blanket and was unable to get the file to work. It would only download the cover page and nothing else. Could you please email me the file for this pattern to nikkiilee20@hotmail.com. I would love to make a few of these for my future little one.
Thanks,
Nicole

I wish the tiling was working for this pattern. I can download it no problem, but when I try to print I only get partial pieces. I’ve tried it on several computers/printers with the same result.

Natalie Zee Drieu on November 6th, 2009 at 8:55 am said:

Sorry for the delay folks. I’m working on getting our production designer to tile this so that it will fit on a home computer. Please stay tuned. I hope to have this up by today or early next week.

I tried everything that you suggested to try and yet still nothing. It downloads the first page and then just stops and freezes up on me. Could you try emailing the file to me and see if that works? Nikkiilee20@Hotmail.com
Thanks,
Nicole

Much appreciated!

If you are lucky enough to get the pattern to load in Internet Explorer the printing options were available for me to tile large pages. So print it out directly from the web browser. Probably a good idea to make sure you have the latest version of internet explorer and the adobe reader plugin
You can not Tile Large pages with the free “reader” only version you need the Full version of acrobat.

Hi,
I am wondering if the pdf problem was ever resolved. I tried as recently as today to download it and I get page one only with no pattern or instructions.
I would very much love to be able to download and sew this pattern.
Thanks!

I had to click Scale to fit in order to print it out without it being cut off. Is that how it’s suppose to print?

Is there a legend available to show how to tape the 9 pages of pattern pieces together? I printed them out but can’t figure out how to join them.

Thanks so much!
