ONE PIECE AT A TIME LAYETTE These are machine knitting patterns. Babies are fun to knit for because they are cute, the clothes are small, and they are never heard to say “It makes me look fat!” If you start knitting when you get the happy news and make a new piece every so often, the newcomer will have a wonderful wardrobe when he or she arrives. See more details below.

SNOOZE SACK ETC. The Snooze Sack may be made on any gauge of machine. A ribber is required to create the open embossed cable in the sample. Those who are willing to hand latch ribbing may make a version on a single bed machine that is plain or has a Wanderlust Cable. See a more detailed description of this book below. To learn more about Wanderlust Cables, see this video The Wanderer free video hat pattern

The hat and cardigan are companion pieces. Both use worsted weight [#4] yarn and may be made on any bulky machine. Herrschner's worsted 8 yarn is recommended.  Neither requires a ribber. 2x2 cables are the embellishment for both pieces. Both pieces  have 2 sizes: newborn  and 3-6 months.  Here are videos demonstrating both patterns.  BABY BOUTIQUE The Baby Boutique is a collection of machine knitting patterns for little people.
