Baby’s First Christmas: 21 Free Knitting Patterns for Baby

December 4, 2014 by AllFreeKnitting 1 Comment

One of the best things about having a baby around is getting to take part in many firsts— from first steps and first words to first birthdays and first holidays. There is just so much to be celebrated. Why not make baby’s big moments extra special by incorporating some of your knitting skills? Knitting for babies are always fun. When paired with the excitement of knitting for the holidays, you’ve got yourself quite the formidable duo.

This year, go the extra mile for your little one’s first Christmas and knit a few keepsakes. From homemade Christmas ornaments and knit stockings patterns to adorable Santa hats and elf suits, there is something here for anyone looking to decorate for the holidays with their own two needles. Sure, they might not be able to recall much from this special day, but the pictures and video will show him or her just how much time was spent making this the best one yet.

And who knows? Some of these knits may even become a Christmas staple in your household. Take this for example. When I was in kindergarten, I’d made a nutcracker out of a Pringles can and fully expected my mother to put it out for all to see that year. It may not have been my finest moment in craft history, yet it still comes out of hiding every year at Christmas. The same goes for the million and one ornaments I had made throughout the years. These personal tributes to Christmas have lived on long past their intended date and so will your Christmas knits. Just wait. Years down the line, you’ll be pulling out your homemade Christmas ornaments, and you’ll look back on this moment.

So, cast on a couple of these amazing holiday knitting patterns to create a beautiful memory that will last a lifetime. Happy Knitting!
