Sweet Knitted Baby Sweaters

You don’t have to spend a fortune on baby clothes if you know how to knit. In fact, you should utilize your skills to help the planet, which certainly doesn’t need more textile trash! Let’s start with knitted baby sweaters.
It’s actually quite easy to make absolutely beautiful clothes for a baby, especially knitted baby sweaters if only you have enough patience and choose good-quality yarn. Sweaters can be the first step toward handmade wardrobe – they are simple in shape, and their small size makes them work up quickly. Choose colors you like best and play with them if you are feeling skillful. Minimalism is on trend now, so go for the simplest designs. Take a look at the examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
