My son grew out of his tractor jumper and since it was one of his favourites I knew I had to make another one in a bigger size. I re-charted the tractor to make it nice and big on the jumper.

I made this for the baby of a friend who loves books, a kindred spirit!

My daughter loves pigs so for Christmas she asked for a Christmas pig jumper. How could I say no! This jolly pig is wearing a santa hat and is ready for the big day.

My son absolutely loves tractors and gets excited every time we see one, it was even one of his first words! That meant I had to make this tractor jumper for him and he loves it so much i struggle to get it off him long enough to wash it.

I have a friend you designs yachts so when he had a baby I knew I wanted to make a yacht theme outfit. I also knew that these knitted versions needed to look just like an actual yacht! I picked a light blue colour to represent the sea and the black for the yachts to make them look like they are silhouetted.

My friends are weight lifters so I knew exactly what I wanted to add as a motif to the cardigan I made for their baby. This little strong baby adds the perfect touch to this snuggly warm cardigan, perfect as an extra layer.

I made this jumper for my son as he loves all vehicles but especially monster trucks. And what’s not to love?With their big wheels, loud engines and bright colours monster trucks are lots of fun.

I just can’t resist cute baby hats and I wanted to do one with ear flaps to make it extra warm. I used a stitch pattern which uses paired increases and decreases to create a bumby hattern reminiscent of soft prickles to make this hedgehog hat.

Babies love a toy that rattles and that has interesting textures. It’s even better if they can grab it and chew it of course! I made this starfish rattle toy to tick all those boxes, a perfect gift for new parents.

With a new baby boy on the way I wanted to make a jumper to keep him snug and who doesn’t love dinosaurs! Pterodactyls are my daughters favourite dinosaur (yes I know it is actually a pterosaur rather than a dinosaur but try explaining that to a 4 year old) so I’m sure once she sees it I’ll have to make her a matching jumper. The pterodactyl is...

With a new baby on the way I wanted to make a jumper to keep him snug when out and about. The sleeping panda is worked on the front using the intarsia method from a chart.

With a baby on the way I wanted to make some warm jumpers for keeping him snug when out and about. This jumper has a sleeping cat picture on the front which is worked in intarsia from a chart.

I originally designed this as a baby jumper when my daughter saw it she asked me to make one for her, and didn’t stop asking until I started knitting!

Every weekend we drive past a field with cows and my daughter always loves looking at them. She started asking me for a cow hat a while ago but I put it off as I wasn’t quite sure how to do it. However she kept asking so after a lot of time spent looking at pictures of cows on the internet I made this. We are both very pleased with it.

My daughter’s friend recently got kittens and my daughter has gotten obsessed with all things cat. This inspired me to make her her very own kitten hat. I expected to wear it outside for walks but she has been wearing it almost constantly while pretending to be a kitten!

When I asked my daughter what she wanted on her Christmas jumper she said Santa with his sleigh snowflakes. This is what I designed and she was very please with the finished result, pretending to fly around with Santa.

My niece is unicorn mad so I made this jumper for her 6th birthday. It is made with DK yarn on 3.75mm and 4mm and the pattern is worked on the front in intarsia (the back is plain). It is a dropped shoulder jumper which is an easy shape to knit.

I can’t resist a baby knit and my friend was talking about how her baby was a little monkey and the idea for this hat was born.

Babies love toys with different textures, smiling faces and noise. This butterfly has all that with it’s variously textured body and wings, rattle and squeakers. I used soft DK yarn that’s also washable to make it easy to care for too.

My daughter and her friends just love diggers and we have to go looking for them often. That inspired me to design this jumper with a classic digger on the front.

My daughter’s favourite toy is a puppy with his tongue sticking out. She takes this puppy everywhere so I decided to make her a jumper featuring him. I put the puppy design on both the front and the back and she loves it.

With Christmas approaching on of my family members asked for a pink octopus hat with purple eyes. Well be careful what you ask for! I designed this hat and knitted it up in hot pink yarn and when they opened it on Christmas day they were delighted. I am especially pleased with the sucker detailing on the octopus’ tentacles.

One of my lovely Ravelry friends suggested a raccoon would make a cute rattle. Having never seen one it took me a while, and a lot of looking at pictures, but I finally finished this design. I am really pleased with how he turned out and think any baby would enjoy playing with him. I put a rattle insert in the head and crinkle material in the e...

My daughter’s favourite toy is her puppy and she requested I make her a puppy hat. Floppy ears were a must and it needed to not be too tight but also cover her ears. This is the result and she has been wearing it every time we’re outside since.

This pattern brings together the 4 ring rattle designs I have made, which are all based on the same shape. From this pattern you can knit the panda, mouse, hedgehog and crocodile rattles for all the new arrivals in your life.

Rattles are just great for babies and for this one I added extra interest with the textured back and teeth. I was inspired by singing row row your boat over and over and the crocodile coming along.

Rattles are just great for babies and for this one I added extra interest with the soft spikes made using simple bobbles. I was inspired by seeing hedgehogs snuffling around the garden looking for tasty treats.

Rattles are just great for babies and this one is extra special with it’s cute face, crinkly ears and bright colours.

For some reason my daughter just loves spiders and we often have to go spider hunting (I am not so keen on spiders but try my best to hide this from her). For this reason I made her a spider hat which she loves. It is a nice comfortable fit and covers her ears to keep them warm.

My daughter is currently obsessed with going to visit a nearby farm so I have spent a lot of time looking at the animals and decided the sheep would make a nice rattle. The bold colours are good for a baby and the bobbles for the sheep’s wool will add an interesting texture for them to feel. I have added 2 rattles for extra noise but 1 in the h...

I designed this hat for my friend’s baby as I just love animal hats on babies. I am sure any baby would look super cute in it and using a super soft but washable yarn means it is a practical gift too.

I designed this hat for my friend’s baby as he loves sailing. I am sure any baby would look super cute in it and using a super soft but washable yarn means it is a practical gift too.

My toddler loves to be outside but hates hat, I think they were too tight and not enough fun. So I designed this shark hat which has a nice loose fit but covers the ears and is definitely fun.

Babies love a rattle and bright colours combined with an easy to grip handle make this a definite hit, of course the cute face doesn’t hurt ;-).

As a knitter I love to knit for all new arrivals. Having spent a lot of time with my baby I have found that fun rattles, especially if they also have crinkly bits, provide hours of fun for babies. I designed this rattle to give to a friend for their new baby.

I made this cute panda rattle toy for a friends baby. The handle is the perfect size for a little hand to hold and the rattle means they love to shake it. I also put crinkle material in the ears for added interest.

Having a baby may have limited my knitting time but it inspired me to make this octopus. Ollie has interestingly textured tentacles which are the perfect size for baby to hold.

I made this blanket as nobody should be scared of monsters so having a cute one on a blanket for a baby couldn’t be better.

You can never have too many bibs with little ones around!

I used 2 100g balls of comfort DK in mint for the background, a 100g ball of white from my stash and a 50g ball of black from my stash.

Any DK yarn can be used, you will need less than a 100g ball of each colour and only scraps of yellow for the headlights.

Boys can be hard to knit for but here is a ball they can play with inside the house.

Pattern is charted and easy to follow using only knit and purl stitches

After a spell as a gamer at uni I came to love dice of all shapes and sizes and wanted to recreate them in knitting. This pattern set includes the pattern for all the dice (4, 6, 10, 12 and 20 sided).

You can use any DK yarn from your stash, less than 100g of each colour are needed.
