How to Tie a Knotted Gown: Step-by-Step Guide

With a simple twist and tie, these gowns not only keep your baby cozy but also make those frequent diaper changes a breeze. It’s no wonder babies and parents both love them! 

The question is, though, how do you tie these baby gowns? Whether you already have a knotted gown and just need help using it or you’re trying to figure out how these work before buying yours, you’ve come to the right place. 

In this guide, we'll show you how to tie a knotted gown quickly and easily, along with the many reasons why these gowns are a must-have for every parent. So let's dive in and uncover the secret to dressing your baby in comfort and style.

How to Tie a Knotted Gown Quickly and Easily

At Caden Lane, we understand the importance of keeping your little one cozy and comfortable, especially during those early months. 

Our knotted gowns are not only incredibly soft and gentle on your baby's skin, but they also come in a variety of adorable designs that make them the perfect addition to your little one's wardrobe. Plus, they're easy to put on and take off, and the knot at the bottom makes for hassle-free diaper changes. 

If you're new to knotted gowns or simply looking for some tips on how to tie them securely, we've got you covered. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you tie your baby's knotted gown quickly and easily.

Positioning the Gown

Start by laying the gown on a flat surface with the front side facing up. Ensure the gown is spread out evenly and that there are no wrinkles or folds in the fabric. If your baby is already wearing the gown, make sure it's smooth and neatly arranged.

Gently lift your baby and place them in the gown, ensuring their arms slide through the sleeves and their legs reach the bottom of the gown. Once your baby is comfortably settled in the gown, it's time to tie the knot.

Holding the Bottom Corners

To tie the gown, you need to work with the bottom corners of the gown. Start by gathering the bottom corners of the gown in each hand. It's essential to have a firm yet gentle grip to ensure a secure knot without applying too much pressure.

Hold the bottom left corner of the gown with your left hand and the bottom right corner with your right hand. At this point, the gown's bottom should form a V shape.

Twisting and Knotting

Now, cross the left corner over the right corner, creating an X shape with the fabric. Then, twist the fabric once so that the left corner is now in your right hand and the right corner is in your left hand. This twist will help secure the knot and prevent it from coming undone.

Next, gently pull the two corners upward and away from your baby's legs. As you pull, you should notice a loop forming at the base of the twist. Carefully thread one corner through the loop, just like you would when tying a shoelace.

Finally, pull both corners of the fabric tight to secure the knot. Be sure not to tie it too tightly – you should be able to easily slip a finger between the knot and your baby's legs. Adjust the knot as needed to ensure it's snug but not constricting.


And there you have it! A perfectly tied knotted gown that will keep your baby warm and cozy. Remember, practice makes perfect - just as with how to swaddle a baby. The more you tie your baby's gown, the easier and quicker it will become. 

Now that you know how to tie a knotted gown, let’s talk about why our selection is the right choice for you.

Caring for Your Knotted Gown

Before we wrap up this brief guide on how to tie a knotted gown, we want to leave you with a few parting tips on caring for your knotted gown.

These are crafted with love and care, and we want to ensure they remain in pristine condition for your baby to enjoy. Proper care is essential for maintaining the softness, comfort, and appearance of your gown:

  • Washing: Always follow the care label instructions on your gown. We recommend using a gentle detergent and washing the gown in cold water on a delicate cycle to protect the fabric and design. Avoid using bleach, as it can cause fading and damage to the fabric.
  • Drying: To maintain the softness and shape of your gown, we advise air-drying it by laying it flat on a clean, dry towel. If you choose to use a dryer, make sure to use a low heat setting to prevent shrinking.
  • Storage: Store your gown in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any color fading. You can fold it neatly or hang it up to prevent wrinkles and creases.

By following these simple care instructions, your Caden Lane knotted gown will stay looking and feeling as good as new, ready to comfort and style your baby for many moments to come. And with all that said, it’s time we brought this conversation on how to tie baby gowns to a close.
