Easy Knitting Patterns Kids Can Knit

February 3, 2018 by Larissa Coleman

I have known lots of kids who were interested in knitting and have even taught a few how to do it through the years.

But it can be problematic to find knitting patterns for younger knitters, because you need things that are simple enough that they can easily complete them but fun enough that they will stick with them.

Little Worlds has a nice collection of kid-friendly knitting patterns that would actually be great for beginning knitters of any age. Ranging from baby booties to accessories of all sorts, these simple projects are the perfect way for anyone to start their knitting journey.

What did you knit as a beginner? I’d love to hear about it?

It took me 4 attempts, spaced roughly a decade between attempts. to like knitting, Each time I either failed to complete the project, or hated the terrible finished results. They all turned into dust rags.
Finally I just cast on 20-25 stitches, knit as long I wanted to, purled for a while, mixed ‘em up a bit, then cast off. When someone asked me what I’d made, I told them Experience. If they could find another use for it (other than a dust rag), that would be a bonus. Removing the pressure of trying to make a “something” made the learning easier and more enjoyable. After that I did a couple scarves then jumped right to sweaters.

Knit a Glasses Holder for Your Bedside Table

Not too long ago I was seeing a crochet pattern for a glasses holder shaped like a bear all over the Internet. It was super cute, and also useful as a place to put your glasses on your bedside table instead of just throwing them somewhere random.

This project stewed in my brain for a little while and I decided I needed to make a knit version, but I didn’t want to make a bear. If you know anything about me you might know that I’m a cat person, so of course my version had to be a cat.

The base is just a basic little basic worked from the center out to the desired size, then up the sides as long as you want them. Knit some ears and add embellishments to make it whatever kind of animal you want.

The way I figured out to work the base from the center out was to use a crochet cast on, which gives you an easier way to pick up stitches from the back of the cast on than if you worked a more traditional cast on for a knitting project. It’s kind of fun to do things in a different way from time to time.

This little project is adorable if I do say so myself, and even as a plain little basket not made into an animal it’s a cute way to keep your glasses or other little things in one place. I’m tempted to make one for my desk to hold pens or even little little scissors and sewing needles that are always on my desk but somehow always seem to get lost on my desk.
