Fable Collection Sleeping Bag Crochet Pattern
This post includes a free crochet pattern for a sleeping bag designed to fit the Fable Collection animals perfectly. This sleeping bag is a super cozy and playful accessory to add to your collection!
I originally created this sleeping bag for Marley Dog, the newest addition to the series, who also comes with a separate pattern that includes a robe and eye mask. Of course, all the clothing and accessories in the Fable Collection are made to mix and match. This snuggly sleeping bag is easy to make, designed with little hands in mind, and perfect for encouraging pretend play.
You can pick up an ad-free PDF for this Sleeping Bag crochet pattern in my shop (Fable Collection Sleeping Bag), or on Etsy.

If you aren’t familiar with the animals in the Fable Collection, they are the sweetest series of crochet animal patterns with a classic heirloom look, yet modern feel and a perfect fit for little hands. All of the animals have interchangeable clothing and accessories.

4: Continue working sl sts along the 6 remaining rows of the sleeping bag flap (single layer only). Turn and work sl sts into the FLO of the top edge.
5: Turn to work sl sts along the edge of the 6 pillow rows, then FLO along the top, and back down the edge of the pillow and side of the sleeping bag, meeting the corner of the flap.
