Baby Earflap Hat

 — Created by Kate Winkler

With the huge influx of grandchildren in Kate's life, it's no surprise that she's designing lots of baby things now.

Garter Checks Baby Blanket

 — Created by Kate Winkler

This baby blanket uses a simple knit-purl pattern that really shows off the subtlety of the heathered color of the wool/cotton blend yarn (Cestari 2-ply sock yarn).

The "Baby Cover" Baby Cover

 — Created by Janice Farrell Pea

Janice seems to be having great fun exploring themes. Having designed several garments using a Faux Entrelac pattern, she is following the inspiration to design circular baby throws knitted from the center out. The name was inspired by the name of the yarn she chose for the project: Baby Cover from Laines du Nord.

Faux Entrelac Baby Blanket or Throw

 — Created by Janice Farrell Pea

Janice has been on a faux entrelac kick recently. Prior to this project, she designed a Faux Entrelac Wrap. Sized at 48" by 48", this baby blanket works equally well as a throw.

Dahlia Baby Blanket

 — Created by Janice Farrell Pea

Janice bought this yarn entirely on impulse. On a visit to Needleworks, in Champaign, IL, she sat down to knit a bit and noticed a skein of this colorway was sitting on the table. It belonged in a bin on the up-stairs level of the shop. She decided to return it to its proper place, where she found five of its siblings. They were so pretty, she took them all home. They told her they wanted to be a baby blanket. Perhaps someday, she will have a grandchild to knit for, and now she has a head start.

Her knowledge of flowers is limited. She can tell a rose, from a tulip, from a daisy – but that’s about it. Kate Winkler, however, identified the center flower as a dahlia, inspiring the name for this wonderful baby blanket.

Jacob's Booties (Socks)

 — Created by Kara Walz

Kara loved the idea of knitted booties but hated the way that so many knitted or crocheted booties will slide off. When she saw the elastic Fixation yarn from Cascade, she had the flash of inspiration to knit stretchy socks that cannot be kicked off as easily as a more traditional bootie.

Stacked Hat

 — Created by Kathy Delsignore

Kathy designed this whimsical, wonderful children's hat that stands up on its own while on your head.

Baby Socks

 — Created by Matthew Hesson-McInnis, PhD

There are two versions of this pattern, using either a turned heel or a short-row heel.
