Knit Sweet baby Things in Red Heart Cutie Pie

August 6, 2015 by Sarah White

red heart baby blanketRed Heart has a fun new chenille yarn made for baby projects called Cutie Pie, a lightweight polyester yarn that come in eight colors and is machine washable.

 

Looking for more Knitting patterns for Babies? Check these out on Etsy.

While a few colors are showing as out of stock on the website right now, you may be able to find them locally, and even if you don’t use the yarn in question, you’ll want to check out these adorable projects developed for the yarn.

The Coral Cutie Hat and Booties and the Square on Square Baby Blanket are really cute and pretty easy, too. The hat and booties are worked flat in Garter Stitch, while the blanket is worked from the outside in, in Garter Stitch in the round.

They are really cute, fun projects that are sure to brighten any baby’s nursery, and even with lightweight yarn they should be pretty quick to knit.

Have you been working on any baby things lately? I’d love to know what you’re making.

    What a nice, simple baby blanket! I love using Red Heart, but I also find some treasures just browsing at the craft store. I recently bought several skeins of Yarn Bee’s Soft Secret to make a blanket from my cousin’s baby.

Have you read?

Textured Baby Blanket Knitting Patterns

There are so many baby blanket knitting patterns out there I could probably do a post a month full of them and not run out for a very long time. This time I thought I’d look specifically at single color baby blankets that are interesting because of the inclusion of textured stitching. This makes them easy enough for new knitters but engaging for knitters of all skill levels. 

Take the Textured Checks Baby Blanket from Janet Dubbelman for example. This project is mostly stockinette stitch, with some what looks like reverse stockinette and garter stitch thrown in to make the ridges. You can use whatever yarn weight you like to make blankets of different sizes. Find the pattern on Ravelry. 

The Seedling from Modern Made Shop is just about as easy as it comes, combining seed stitch with a garter stitch border. It calls for worsted weight yarn and is perfect for beginners. 

The Julie Baby Blanket by Elisabeth Kristiansen is another one with an easy allover stitch pattern that you can knit up in a flash in whatever size you want. (The pattern notes say any gauge but it also says 28 stitches per 4 inches, which would be a superfine or fine weight yarn. Learn more on Ravelry. 

The Oscar Baby Blanket from Snufflebean is another one with an easy repeating stitch pattern that has a really fun, graphic effect. This is also great worked in a bright color, reminding us that babies don’t have to be in pastels! This one uses DK weight yarn. 

If you want to get a little fancier, check out Sammy Bristow’s Georges Blanket. This one alternates blocks of stockinette stitch with boats and anchors made by purling on the right side of the blanket. It calls for DK weight yarn and has multiple sizes for dolls through toddlers. Check it out on Ravelry.

Another cute texture is this heart blanket with diamonds that are a little reminiscent of argyle. Yarn Sonata Patterns has this one, which is worked in DK weight yarn and comes in four sizes. It includes a chart and row by row instructions. 

Or try the pretty Seton Portage baby blanket from Knitted Wishes, which has a border of trees and textured stitches that look like snow falling. The pattern includes different options for snowflakes and doing a mirror image of the trees on each end of the blanket. It’s worked in worsted weight yarn. This one includes charts, written instructions and video tutorials for special stitches.
