When I’m looking for something to knit, the first place I tend to start looking is in the baby knitting patterns. Not only are the patterns super-cute, they are small and portable. There is always someone in my life who is expecting, so I like to take the opportunity to knit up the new baby something cute. These little patterns are also the perfect chance to practice new techniques without having to commit to a larger and more daunting pattern.
Whether you’d like to knit the new baby a toy, a hat or dress, you’re sure to find a fun pattern that you’ll love. The most popular baby knitting patterns tend to be blankets and hats, and for good reason. Hats are great portable projects and work up faster than you’d believe. Knit baby afghans are so popular because they really are great places to express your creativity while making something for the new little one.
