Fall might not quite be upon us yet (and we’re by no means eager to get rid of the lovely summer weather we’ve been having), but this is the time of year where we always start thinking about how autumn is coming.
This isn’t a bad thing though, because we much as we adore summer, fall is a wonderful time of year as well! This is especially true for knitters.
Knitted Baby Sweater Patterns
All of those beautiful knitwear pieces that you packed away for the season can finally come out and be worn again!
1. Hooded wrap sweater
Do you love the idea of making something quite simple in it’s colour and pattern but you still want some unique design elements when it comes to the actual construction of the sweater?
We think that’s a great strategy for baby knitting because these things fit the kids you’re making them for for such a short time. That’s why we love this classic looking but simply made wrap sweater from

In that case, maybe a little bit off colourful striping is the best place for you to start!
