Materials You Need for Free Baby Knitting Patterns!
- Knitting needles – You will need a sturdy pair of non-slippery knitting needles. You can use straight needles for flat projects, but a pair of circular knitting needles will make your knitting experience so much better.
Pro tip: Wooden knitting needles are great for slippery yarns and metal/ aluminum ones are perfect for “sticky” yarns like acrylic!
- Yarn – Make sure to check the pattern to see what yarn weight to use. Each pattern should list a recommended brand or weight in the “suggested yarn” section of the knitting pattern you’re following! We always recommend that you match the fiber type you’re using with the one used to make the pattern.
- Scissors – A pair of scissors is another important tool that you will use for all of your knitting projects. You’ll need them to cut the yarn when you’re done!
- Yarn/darning needle – You will need a yarn needle or darning needle to sew in the loose ends.
- Stitch markers – You might need stitch markers to keep track of where you are if you’re following a stitch pattern. We recommend “removable” or “locking” style stitch markers for most knitting projects. If you don’t have stitch markers, you can use a strand of scrap yarn—preferably in a different color so it’s easy to see.
