Favourite Yarns

One of  the first yarns I go to when knitting for babies is the Comfort Cherish Range from King Cole Yarns

The yarn is so smooth to knit with and glides off the needles.

I have knitted so many little cardigans and outfits with this yarn and the finished knitwear always has good stitch definition and is so soft against babies delicate skin.

The yarn is machine washable (most important when knitting for little ones) and washes and wears well.

I knitted this romper set from my Charlie baby knitting pattern

Cailin Baby Knitting Pattern

Every little girl needs a summer cardigan, perfect for slipping over little cotton dresses or t-shirts.

Cailin is a v necked short sleeved cardigan which can be knitted in sizes 0-6 or 6-12 months.

Easy to knit with a simple lace eyelet pattern used below the arms with stocking stitch used on the  bodice and sleeves.

The pattern also gives instructions to knit a garter stitch headband too.

I used Rico Baby so soft yarn in a lovely shade of lilac but any similar baby DK weight yarn could be substituted.  I've also had successful results using King Cole Cherish.

The pattern is available from my website here: CAILIN baby knitting pattern
