Easy Knitting Patterns Kids Can Knit

February 3, 2018 by Larissa Coleman 1 Comment

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.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
