Striped Nursery Collection
Discover the adorable striped nursery collection, perfect for new parents and anyone looking to create heartfelt knitted gifts for newborns. This delightful collection features a range of easy-to-knit items, starting with a simple yet charming blanket, bunting, and soft ball. As you gain confidence in your knitting skills, you can progress to crafting a cozy hat and an adorable romper. If you’re a novice, don’t worry—each item in this collection can be knitted in a single color. As your competence and creativity grow, feel free to embrace color changing in your designs!
The standout feature of the blanket is its innovative design, which includes arm and harness holes, allowing you to comfortably wrap your little one while securely attaching the blanket to a buggy or car seat. These practical holes can be fastened with small flat buttons, adding an extra touch of charm, or they can simply be omitted for a seamless look. Additionally, the optional pompom(s) on the hat and bunting add a playful flair that’s sure to delight.
Inspired by my own daughter, Saskia, who is now 6, this collection has a special place in my heart. The ball and blanket from this set are still in regular use, showcasing their durability and timeless appeal (see the accompanying picture for a glimpse!).
If you know someone eager to knit for a newborn, this is the ideal pattern set to gift! Choose colors that match your baby's nursery décor for a personalized touch. All items in this nursery collection also look fantastic in solid colors, and the bunting offers a wonderful opportunity for a mix of vibrant hues if that’s preferred.
Knitted with easy-care wool and acrylic yarns, this collection is designed for both comfort and practicality, ensuring that the projects maintain their quality wash after wash. The revised pattern from 06/05 includes important stitch count amendments specifically for the 12/18 month romper (clearly underlined) along with a helpful schematic to guide you through the knitting process.
Embrace your knitting journey with this charming striped nursery collection, perfect for creating treasured items that will be cherished for years to come!
