Free baby knitting patterns for the little ones who deserve something made with love. Every pattern here has been designed by Jane Burns with new babies and toddlers in mind, from their first weeks right through to those busy early years when everything needs to be both beautiful and robust enough to survive an adventure or two.
You will find a growing collection of whimsical, characterful designs here, toys and comforters, cardigans and jackets, booties and bonnets, and a few things that are simply too sweet to resist. The patterns are written to be as approachable as possible, with simple shaping, clear instructions, and just enough personality to make the finished piece feel truly special.
Whether you are knitting for a new arrival, a baby shower gift, or a grandchild who has been dropping very strong hints, you are in the right place. New patterns are added regularly, so it is always worth coming back to see what has arrived.
