I did a lot of baby knitting this summer, including cardigans and other accessories for my nephew Ryder and niece Annalynn. I’m looking ahead to fall knitting (for me!), but first I had to send a wee sweater down to D.C. for my pen pal Jaclyn, who welcomed sweet Emily in August.
Like Ryder’s, this little cardi is made of Madelinetosh Tosh DK (this colorway is called Tart). It’s also the same pattern, which is unisex, simple and adorable. Emily was born early, so it’s probably still too big, but she’ll grow into it and I like to think she’ll look stylish when she does.
Baby knits are so satisfying – they’re super quick and virtually guaranteed to turn out cute. If you’re a knitter, what are your favorite things to knit for babies?

The cuteness! Emily is very lucky her mom is your pen pal.
Yeep! So cute!
LOVE. Almost makes me want to have another baby. *Almost.* 🙂
Aww it’s lovely! The colour is perfect! The only thing I’ve knit for a baby has been a blue and white fluffy blanket that I did last February.
I’m currently working on the pointy elf hat from “More Last-Minute Knitted Gifts”, by Joelle Hoverson. A picture of it is on the cover. For my little niece…the only babe in the family right now.
Thank you again! =) This little sweater is too adorable, and so soft… Emily is definitely too small (although she’s growing – 3 pounds, 7 ounces today!) but I think she’ll be in it this winter and she will LOVE how cuddly and warm it is. I’ll be sure to send pictures once we get a little more baby fat on that girl and she can wear it. You’re the best, Aunt Katie!
