Knitting for babies is a great way to try out new patterns or techniques without committing to the full-sized project. Plus, they take much less time since babies are so tiny, so you can get way more knitting done than if you were working on an adult-sized piece. Knit baby patterns come in all shapes, sizes and varieties: whatever you can dream up, you can knit for your little one. The most popular baby patterns are blankets and hats since they’re often the easiest and quickest to work up and are great for beginners. Baby hat patterns work up quickly, and they’re a perfect canvas for trying out new techniques like fair isle or other stranding. Baby sweater patterns, on the other hand, can get a little more complicated since they’re more involved, but again, since they’re done on a smaller scale, they’re not as laborious to make.
Since knit baby patterns are so adorable and varied, we’ve gathered some of our favorites for you in this cute collection. Make some cute baby sweaters and rompers to practice your knitting skills, or go for something a bit more straightforward, like a hat, toy or even a babyghan.
Baby Sweater and Clothing Patterns
Baby sweater patterns are too cute to exist, and yet here they are. Since babies grow so quickly, these clothing pieces can often be short-lived, but since they’re small in size, you can always work up a larger size quickly. For these knit baby sweaters and clothing, I’d recommend baby soft yarn that’s machine washable – you know how babies love to attract dirt! With the right yarn, these pieces are quick to become durable favorites for your growing tot.

Baby Hat Patterns and Accessories
Tiny knit baby hats, a toy whale and a babyghan – what’s not to love? These knit baby accessories are projects that will last you awhile, providing you choose durable yarn. Just like with the clothing patterns, make sure to choose machine-washable yarn so that these baby accessories can be quickly cleaned up whenever they get dirty.
