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.

  1. 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.

Classic Dishcloth Knitting Patterns

Fall will be here before we know it, and that means there are holidays coming right behind where we might be entertaining at home. It’s always fun to have a hand knit touch in your home for other people to see, and if you’re going to be in the kitchen all day you might as well have some nice knit dish cloths to use. 

I love this little plaid hand towel from Darling Jadore. Use a little bit of leftover cotton yarn from another project for the plaid portion. It looks like the horizontal stripes are worked as you knit and the vertical stripes are done with duplicate stitch, making this a quick and easy project even newer knitters can make. 

Combine garter stitch and an easy eyelet pattern worked sideways to make the Annette Dish Towel from Cluck Cluck Boots, which is meant to be reminiscent of flour sack towels. It calls for DK weight yarn and you can work it in one color or two (or even three!). 

Add a little more texture with this set of kitchen towels from Whileberry Creative. They’re mostly worked in garter stitch with borders in easy knit/purl patterns, and you can work them in sport or worsted weight yarn. 

Two of Wands Shop has another cute allover knit and purl pattern they call the Seersucker Textured Tea Towel. It’s an easy repeating pattern worked in worsted weight yarn, and there’s a chart in the pattern you can use, but don’t have to, if you want to practice knitting from a chart. 

The Classic Cloth dish towel from Handmade Home by Connie is another one that can use a little leftover yarn in a contrasting color, or you could color block it our use stripes throughout the pattern. This one uses worsted weight yarn and another easy repeating knit purl stitch pattern. 

If you like to hang your towel on the oven handle or elsewhere but it’s always falling off, try the Stay Put kitchen towel from Fancy Step Knits. This project is worked in garter stitch and includes a hole partway through so you can pull the towel through itself over a rod or handle. Stripes are optional but a nice addition.
