Knitting For Baby, A Real Love Of Any Knitter
But wait, what will I knit? There is no end to what you can knit for a new little one. There are so many baby knitting patterns that you could actually spend several hours just picking that perfect thing out. And you can find patterns all over the web, hmmmm, another few hours spent.
But to name a few, there are blankets, layettes, dresses, hoodies, and jackets. There are booties, mittens, socks, washcloths and baby bath blankets. You can even knit adorable onsies.

You can knit for your own baby, either one you are about to have or one you just had. You can knit for someone else's baby, again coming or already here. You can knit for baby a gift for the shower or for the homecoming. You can knit for baby of a stranger or a friend, a family member or the family of a friend. You see my point. There is no excuse for not knitting for baby, anybody's baby!
If you are new to knitting, you might want to start with a simple item. I would recommend a washcloth, or bath blanket or a crib blanket. They are straight and no curves or twists. You would knit them on straight single point needles and you can start out with a simple pattern, while you get your feet wet with knitting for baby.

Cute Baby Boy Knitted Outfit
Your Imagination is Your Only Limit
If you are an experienced knitter, you could go wild with texture, cables, yarn overs, knit 2together etc. The sky is the limit. But the really great thing about knitting for baby is that there is no end to the amount of colors and textures to choose from. You have soft fuzzy and interesting tweeds, and super soft cottons. Let your heart be the judge.
One word of caution, I would avoid real animal yarns, such as rabbit, goat, sheep's wool etc. They are more harsh and you have no idea if the baby will be sensitive or even allergic to it. So stick with the processed yarns. They are so gorgeous you are not missing out on anything.
Another great reason for knitting for baby is that the project can be completed so quickly. You could even make something, not like it and turn around and knit another one, with plenty of time to spare.
So I hope I have convinced you that knitting for baby is one of the most wonderful crafting quests that you can undertake. And I hope you have great fun with your projects.

- Susan -- we have a dear friend who's daughter is now in a hospital until August because she did not carry her last child to term. She is a difficult pregnancy at best. So, we are looking for handknitted items for her baby. Have you also seen the bunnies by the bay items? I've done a lens on it. I appreciate knitted items as an adult and buy them for babies too -- so I'm split on your duel. ;)
