Where to start...
Babyknitting for beginners
If you are new to knitting, baby knitting is an obvious and popular place to start.
Projects are small and therefore typically quicker to knit. Also it is no less than wonderfully rewarding to knit love into every stitch of the project.
We have selected a number of easy projects for babies that are achievable for beginners.
Cute and adorable patterns

Finding yarn for your baby knits
One thing is certain, for baby knitting only the best and softest yarn is good enough. The yarn should not only the perfect match for the elected project, it also must be soft, breathable and help the tiny body regulate temperature. We therefore recommend merino wool yarn for baby knit, as this is the softest type of wool. This could for instance be Önling No 11 made of merino wool and cashmere, and a thin yarn suitable for many baby knitting projects.
