Knit and Crochet for Kids with a Free Ebook from Red Heart

To celebrate the company’s new Baby Hugs yarn, Red Heart has released a free pattern ebook with 11 knit and crochet patterns for babies and little kids up to age 8.

The yarn Baby Hugs is a medium weight, extra soft acrylic yarn that comes in 14 solid, no dye lot colors and is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 class 1 certified, which means it has been tested for more than 300 potentially harmful substances and deemed safe to use for babies and children.

The patterns are a mix of crochet and knitting, with crocheted blankets, a poncho, a dress and a sweater, as well as several knit sweaters, a knit dress and a pixie hat.

Four of the knitting patterns are rated easy while one is intermediate. They’re all pretty darn cute. I’m thinking hard about that sweater dress for my daughter, because it goes up to size 8.

I hope you’ll check it out if you like knitting for kids and let me know what you think!

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level.

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants.

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project.

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn.

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through.

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces.

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
