Welcoming a new life into the world is always an exciting event, cause for celebration and joy. Many knitters, upon hearing news of the blessed event, will follow their gut reaction and begin knitting like crazy. But what do you make for the summer baby, born into a world where a sweater and thick woolen baby booties are rendered unnecessary by the elements? Well, I’ve looked in to the matter, and I can tell you that there are many lovely patterns out there just for babies in the summer.
If you’re preparing to welcome a new family member, then these seasonal baby knitting patterns would make perfect gifts to the expectant family. Even in the winter, these bright and cheerful patterns will be a welcome sight.

I love blankets. I want to expand to all types of clothing for babies!
Sometime within the last two months there was a pattern posted that was for a toddler girl. It was sort of a sweater vest but it flared out and was (if I’m remembering correctly) in a rainbow colored yarn. I would love to see this pattern again so I can do it. Thanks.
