are you going to make the whole insert out of knit?

Can I do that?????? If not, then what do I put in the middle?

I wouldn't use knit for the whole thing. You can put flannel, terry, or birdseye in the middle. Do you have a serger or are you going to have to turn and topstitch? If you T&T you will be a little more limited has to how many layers you can use because of the extra bulk in the seam allowance when you turn.

You'll probably be able to do 2-3 layers of flannel or birdseye and 2 layers of knit. But if you T&T, you might have to figure something else out.

Turn and Topstitch is when you sew the wrong sides together and turn it so right sides are out (like sewing a pillow).
