3 Adorable Baby Knitting Patterns You Need to Try

This week we’re bringing you some more baby knitting inspiration, including 3 free patterns for baby hats, baby booties, and a simple baby blanket. You can knit any of these in either wool or cotton; both yarn options are available!

Top Knot Baby Hat

The Top Knot Baby Hat is a delightfully simple stockinette stitch, starting with an effortless rolled brim. For the crown, you’ll decrease in a spiral pattern at just three points, creating a slightly pointed shape and the look of swirling, layered petals about to burst into bloom! Now for the really fun part… You can choose whether to finish your hat with a darling, little knot or with a bitty loop! Either way, you’ll knit a short I-cord and follow the instructions to secure it.

Prism Blanket In Morning

The building block of this blanket is a bias-knit garter-stitch square, made with simple increases, then decreases, and relaxing knit stitches in between. Changing yarn colors halfway through each square gives you a bright spot to anticipate during your increases, and then each row just flies by faster and faster from there!
