Mei Tai Baby Carrier Pattern

"Baby wearing" has long been practiced in many cultures around the world, and research has shown that "worn" babies are happier and learn more quickly than their counterparts. The Mei Tai is a traditional Asian baby carrier that allows you to carry your baby in the front, on the back, or on the hip. Its wide straps and even distribution of weight across the back make it very comfortable. This pattern features a unique internal "X harness" for extra safety and back support for the baby. Also included is an optional pocket that doubles as a stuff sack.

*All fabric cut from bolt priced and sold in quarter yard increments. For 1 yard, please set quantity at 4.
