Knitting patterns for beginners and advanced knitters

For beginners in knitting, our easiest pieces are suitable, without elaborate patterns and appliqués. Knits with a higher degree of difficulty, on the other hand, are just right for advanced knitters.

Cute and soft cuddle cloths

Soft cuddle cloths are already popular with the youngest children. They are very light and pleasantly soft knitted, making them ideal for little baby hands. They can be used for cuddling, but also for playing. They also help babies to fall asleep, as it is easier for them to calm down and fall asleep with something cosy in their hands. Numerous variations and designs make it possible to implement these knitting patterns for babies in a variety of ways. You can knit them simply as a square version, with or without a motif, or add a little animal head as well.

Rattles and grab rings

Anything that rattles arouses the interest of babies. You can make small knitted toys with rattling elements. Alternatively, light grab rings are suitable for playing with and for training grasping. Most babies are already able to do this by the time they are a few months old. Animal motifs or other interesting things can be attached to the ring. Use our knitting patterns for babies to knit these interesting toys. Make sure the weight is light so that the baby can hold the rattle or ring well.

Pram and dummy chains

Long trips with the pram are perfect for a long nap. But once your little one has had a good night's sleep, the journey can be a bit boring. You can keep them entertained with the right baby knitting toys that you attach to the pram. A pram chain is equipped with various small toys and brings entertainment into the pram. You can simply clip them to the sides. It's best to have them close enough so that the baby can see everything or even reach them with his hands.

Is the baby difficult to calm without a dummy? Then it should always be in the luggage. Soother chains prevent the soother from falling out of the car onto the floor. The dummy is attached to a colourful chain and then fastened to the baby's clothing. This keeps it within reach and always available for soothing.

Animal-shaped hot water bottle covers

In the first few months, many babies suffer from tummy aches. The typical colics often occur due to intolerances of baby milk or when switching to solid food. A hot water bottle is a quick remedy. However, the hot water bottle should not be in direct contact with the baby's skin so that it does not get too hot. To protect your baby, you can knit a hot water bottle cover that is the perfect size. Why not design this cover with a funny animal face or motifs to make the hot water bottle more visually interesting for the baby?

Cuddly animals and hand puppets

Small, lightweight dolls can even be held by babies and played with. Knit different designs in the form of hand puppets or cuddly animals with knitting patterns for babies, which are ideal for playing or cuddling. They are also the perfect companion when it comes to naps without mum at nursery.

Bibs to protect clothes

Bibs are helpful so you don't have to change baby after every meal. They come in lots of fun designs, in white or colourful - you name it. Why not knit a whole set of matching bibs to keep baby's clothes clean for longer when out and about and at home when eating? The first attempts with porridge always go wrong. Large ones that can be easily washed in the washing machine are very helpful.

Use our knitting patterns for babies to knit a set of 4 or 6 bibs. These sets also make a perfect gift.

Socks and baby shoes

You can also knit lots of baby shoes and cute socks for babies with our knitting patterns for babies. You can choose from many different models. Whether simple slippers or baby ballerinas, mini sneakers or little boots - the choice is really wide. You can knit practical, festive or cool shoes. You have just as much design freedom with knitting patterns for babies that are suitable for socks. From flat socks that end below the ankle to medium and extra-long styles, Crazypatterns has it all.

Sweaters, trousers and dresses

Dress the baby from top to toe - with the matching knitting patterns for babies, you'll get the descriptions you need to make every piece the best it can be. Besides jumpers, knitted waistcoats and slipovers are in demand, and for cold days you can also add a warm baby jacket. Babies like to wear rompers underneath. Tights and leggings are also a must, as are baby dresses and skirts. At Crazypatterns you'll find lots of ideas that can be combined as a set, making them a great gift for baby.

Hat, scarf and gloves

No matter what time of year it is, babies' heads, hands and feet often cool down very quickly. You can easily keep them warm with thin and thick varieties of hats, gloves and scarves. There are numerous designs of knitting patterns for babies with which you can knit the complete accessories for babies. Decorative or warming headbands are also included. Thanks to our knitting patterns for babies, many of the accessories presented here make great birth gifts. For example, a cute hat with matching mittens.

Practical baby blanket

Whether for a nap, a picnic in the garden or for crawling - a beautiful baby blanket can be used in many ways. If it's not on the floor, you can also use it to cover up on the couch or in the pram. The sizes vary depending on the knitting patterns for babies. Usually, these blankets measure 80 x 80 cm or 120 x 120 cm. The largest models are suitable for children who are already crawling and exploring the world. The smaller models, on the other hand, are more suitable for on the go, for example as a changing mat. Particularly colourful and eye-catching are patchwork blankets, for which you put together small knitted squares in different colours and patterns to make a large blanket.

Carrying covers for on the go

Do you prefer to carry your baby rather than push it in the pram? Many babies benefit from close physical contact with their parents, they calm down more easily and fall asleep better. To protect your baby from the sun and wind, you can knit your own cover in the design of your choice. You can put it over a sling or a harness and the baby is perfectly protected.

Exciting mobiles

A mobilé above the changing table is a real help when changing nappies. If the baby's gaze falls on it, the unloved nappy change can often be carried out much more quickly. Mobilés are also very popular above the bassinet or the cot. You can decorate them with your favourite motifs, for example butterflies or flowers, animals, stars or much more. However, it should be hung out of reach so that baby can't tear off small parts.

Diaper bag for care accessories and nappies

The nappy bag should be with you on every outing. It often contains a supply of nappies, care creams and wet wipes. A change of clothes and a soft changing mat should also be included. You can easily knit your own diaper bag with baby knitting instructions and patterns. Just try it out and create a diaper bag in the design of your choice that no one else will have.

Tip: Take a look at our other sections where you can find lots of crocheted or sewn items for babies. You might even find your new favourite hobby here.

Basket for babies or pets

A knitted basket can stand right on the floor and be placed anywhere in the home. Your baby will sleep especially safely in it. Being close to the floor reduces the risk of injury if they climb over the edge. Knit the baby basket in the size of your choice. Your baby can lie in it and take a nap or play. The knitted basket is also ideal for travelling when there is no suitable baby cot available.
Tip: If the baby has grown too big for the knitted basket, it can often be used as a soft and cuddly retreat for the dog or cat.

Materials for knitting

The following basic equipment is necessary if you want to get started with knitting patterns. You may already have a small supply of these at home. Thinner yarns are recommended for summer dresses and accessories, for winter use a warm knitting wool.

• White, black and coloured knitting yarns
• Knitting needle set
• bows, buttons, eyes and other details
• 1 thick sewing needle

Tip: You can knit every instruction 1:1 or modify it individually, for example with other colours, motifs or patterns.
