Simply Knitting magazine team bring you a bumper collection of the best baby knitting patterns from the magazine's past issues, to welcome new arrivals and keep them snug as a bug in a rug. Suitble for Children aged 0-4 years old.
Making gifts for babies is often one of the first reasons that we knitters pick up a pair of needles. There’s something so tempting about creating soft and snuggly gifts to welcome new arrivals, and as most baby knits are small they’re easy on your budget. I’m from a family of knitters. Some of my earliest memories are of wearing jumpers that my grandma knitted, most of them with a teddy on the front or bunny buttons. My mum-inlaw is the queen of baby knits (making for newborns is her speciality), while my sister makes the most amazing toys – her knitted Santa is a treasured part of our Christmas decorations. So I’m thrilled to bring you this collection of baby knits. We’ve handpicked the best patterns from Simply Knitting…
Every new baby deserves to be wrapped in soft things to keep them warm and feeling safe. As knitters, we indulge in the opportunity to do this through pieces we have crafted ourselves with our own skill and expertise.

The whirlwind excitement and passion of finding a delicious yarn and the perfect pattern is swapped for a more considered approach, taking our time to make sure every detail is perfect. This is not just your next sweater, this is something that might be cherished and kept for generations, and its impact is about much more than just keeping a miniature person warm. Baby patterns are everywhere. From…
