5. Fold the knitted piece in half lengthwise, matching the center points.
6. Sew the two sides together with a mattress stitch, starting at the center and working your way outward.
7. Insert the cover into your Moses basket and admire your beautiful creation.

1. If you're a beginner, practice the eyelet stitch on a small swatch of yarn before starting the cover.
2. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the center point of the cover.
3. If you want a larger cover, you can continue increasing stitches after Row 53 to reach the desired width.
4. If you want a shorter cover, you can reduce the number of eyelet rows after Row 53.
5. Be sure to check the fit of the cover on your Moses basket before binding off the stitches.
