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 Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
