Onesie
A bold, recognizable onesie drawn on the filet grid at 22 by 20, equally at home in baby blankets, bibs, and nursery filet projects. Bring it into the editor to enlarge it, pair it with a matching motif, or tile it across a panel, then export to PDF or print the chart sized to your gauge.

Skill level: beginner
If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine onesie panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Pick a smooth, non-fuzzy yarn so the filled blocks stay square and the open squares stay open after blocking.
Project ideas
Use the onesie as a gentle accent on a bib or a coordinated nursery panel. It suits a bib and works just as well on a nursery wall hanging. Scale the grid up for a centrepiece or tile the motif for an all-over effect.
Who it's for
Think of a baby-shower host, and occasions like a new arrival — the onesie lands well for both. Pair it with letters from the alphabet set to personalise the finished piece.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 5.5 by 5.0 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
