What is Cotton Interlock?
Interlock knit is created using a double-knit technique involving two sets of needles on a knitting machine. This method knits two layers of fabric simultaneously, interlocking them together. The result is a thicker, more stable fabric with a smooth surface on both sides. It is specifically suitable for the cooler months.
How does Cotton Interlock compare to Cotton Knit with Lycra?

Hoolies Kids uses cotton interlock for our kids and baby onesies in autumn and winter for several reasons:
- Warmth and Comfort: The extra warmth is perfect for the cooler autumn and winter months. Its softness ensures that the onesies are gentle against a child’s delicate skin, offering maximum comfort.
- Breathability: Despite its warmth, cotton interlock is breathable. This helps regulate body temperature, keeping your child warm without overheating, which is crucial for a good night’s sleep.
- Durability: The double-knit construction of cotton interlock makes it more durable than single-knit fabrics. This means the onesies can withstand the wear and tear from active toddlers, maintaining their shape and softness even after multiple washes.
- Stretch and Flexibility: Cotton interlock offers a good amount of stretch, allowing the onesies to fit snugly while providing the flexibility needed for your child’s movements. This is particularly important for active toddlers who need freedom to play and explore.
- Hypoallergenic: Being a natural, hypoallergenic fabric, cotton interlock reduces the risk of skin irritation or allergies, making it a safe choice for children with sensitive skin.
- Easy Care: Cotton interlock is easy to wash and maintain, retaining its quality over time. This practicality is a significant advantage for busy parents.
Cotton Interlock Baby Onesies
They are the gold standard for newborn babies as they require special warmth and comfort to ensure their well-being and healthy development.
Newborns are not as efficient at regulating their body temperature as adults. The double-knit construction of cotton interlock offers excellent insulation, keeping babies warm and cosy during those crucial early months. This is especially important in cooler autumn and winter seasons, as it helps maintain a stable body temperature, preventing the baby from getting too cold.
Cotton Interlock Baby Onesies are an essential item for newborns, regardless of season.
Hoolies Kids’ commitment to using premium quality South African cotton with added elastane for comfort ensures that our onesies are not only functional but also stylish and cosy for the colder seasons.
