“I absolutely love knitting for children. I don't have any of my own, so I knit like mad for my friends' kiddos, and for my almost 5-year-old nephew, Henry. It's time for me to knit Henry a back-to-school sweater and I thought you might like to knit something for a little one in your life, too. So here are eight free kids' knitting patterns to get you—and your little buddy—going,”
Knitting for Children Pattern #1
Petite Feet by Interweave Staff - This is several knitting patterns for kids in one! Determine the finished size of the sock and the gauge (based on based on the yarn and needles); then follow the instructions using the correct numbers from each table. Knitters can use the basic pattern to work a plain sock with a ribbed cuff or integrate the directions with the five “recipe” patterns. Each recipe lists the materials needed for that sock design, and then shows how to work the sock by referring back to the basic pattern.
Knitting for Children Pattern #2
Back to School by Norah Gaughan - A unique cotton pullover sized from small child to extra-large adult, it features a flattering asymmetrical textural pattern worked in a combination of stockinette, seed, and garter stitches. The front and back are mirror images so that the diagonal pattern meets at each side seam.
Knitting for Children Pattern #3
Schoolgirl Pullover by Ann Budd - The lime green color of this super simple pullover—plus the rolled edges and cropped length give it a fresh, hip look, for the schoolgirl with a modern sense of style. Plain old stockinette stitch is the perfect platform for showing off the beauty of the thick-and-thin ultra-soft yarn.
Knitting for Children Pattern #4
Stop-Traffic Circles by Kristin Nicholas - The yoke of this vibrant child's sweater is decorated with cheerful concentric circles. Simple chain-stitch embroidery around the knitted-in circle motifs gives them added dimension and a smooth outline. The body of the sweater is worked in knit-and-purl ladder-stitch patterns interspersed with simple cable panels. Bright garter-stitch stripes punctuate the design and border the hem, sleeves, and collar. After finishing the sweater, the designer washed it gently in her machine to even out any irregularities in the embroidery and to give the sweater a soft semifelted surface.
Knitting for Children Pattern #5
Shadowy Vest by Marilyn Murphy - Knitted in the round, this children’s vest is easy to make. The combination of a solid and a multicolored yarn and strategically placed knits and purls makes the shadow strip pattern. Sized for a 2 year old to a 10 year old, you'll want to make one for every child in your life.
Knitting for Children Pattern #6
Unspun Roving Mittens by Amy Clarke Moore - To keep her toddler's hands warm in the winter, this designer knitted cozy mittens with unspun roving and then fulled them slightly for added warmth. She made a pair for herself as well.
