Snuggly Baby Cardigan

I knitted these sets set from my snuggly baby cardigan pattern

The stitch pattern creates a cosy, stretchy fabric and is suitable for both baby girls and baby boys.

Instructions are given to knit the outfit in sizes 0-3 and 3-6 months and is a relatively quick knit.  An ideal pattern for those fairly new to knitting as the simple drop sleeve design keeps shaping to the bare minimum.

A beanie style hat and a matching pair of mittens complete the outfit.

There are so many gorgeous baby yarns around at the moment and once I have completed my latest design project I have a couple in mind to cast on.

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

Molly....

This is my latest knitting pattern and the first of the New Year.  I've had it half finished for quite some time but other projects took precedence and this outfit took a bit of a back seat.

The pattern consists of an all in one romper with matching bonnet and booties.  I came across this pretty openwork rib stitch and thought it would be perfect for an outfit such as this as it is quite stretchy.

I've designed the pattern to fit two sizes 

Newborn & Early Baby/Preemie size.

The larger size requires double knitting yarn whilst the early baby size calls for finer 4ply yarn.

It is an enjoyable knit and quite a quick knit too.  

The pattern can be found on my website:

Tommy..

Tommy is my latest knitting design.....I wanted to create a traditionally styled baby boy's set with a modern feel about it too

The design consists of a collared jacket which has a simple to knit 4 row eyelet pattern on the yolk and the collar.

The sleeves and body of the coat are worked in simple garter and stocking stitch

I tried 3 styles of hat to the outfit before I finally settled on the 'peaked cap' style to give me the look that I was trying to achieve. The eyelet pattern is worked as a band around the cap.

A cute pair of T-Bar style ankle strap shoes complete the set.

Once knitted up the outfit would make a perfect 'new baby' gift

Quick to knit using double knitting (light worsted weight) yarn and looks as good worked in one colour as it does in two.

If you would like to knit the set the pattern can be purchased from my website Tipeetoes.co.uk for baby knitting patterns

'Nuala' Baby Knitting Pattern

This is my first design of 2012 comprising of a baby girls lacy bolero style cardigan with beret style hat and the cutest little ankle strap shoes.

Designed to fit a baby 0-3 Months it is a very quick and easy knit and a great little stash buster as the whole outfit only takes 100g of yarn.

Knitted on size 3.25mm and 4mm needles it makes up in a jiffy!

I think the design would work just as well knitted in one colour but I think the picot detailing looks lovely picked out in a contrast to the main yarn.

This is a pink and navy blue version - not to everyone's taste but it is good to show how different colours work!

You can find the pattern on my website : Tipeetoes.co.uk for baby knitting patterns it can also be found on Ravelry, Etsy and my Ebay shop
