Baby and children’s garments are popular staff knits here at Knit Picks. They offer a quick knit, not much shaping, and are so very satisfying to give to a new mom, or your own kiddo. When Comfy Worsted Heathers came into the office, Alison and Hannah took no time at all casting on for some great cotton garments that are sure to look great on some sweet small people they know.

Hannah went down to a size 2 needle and used 1 skein each of Comfy Worsted Heathers in Ripple Heather and Finnley Heather to make her Puerperium Cardigan (free pattern HERE). I love how subtle and beautiful the stripes look in heathered colors, and the side buttons will make this one easy to get on and off a newborn!

If you’re looking for a great pullover for Spring with just enough details to keep things interesting, Flax, the pattern Alison used, might just be for you! She knit the size for a 2-4 year-old, which took 3 skeins of Comfy Worsted Heathers in Badger Heather. I can see this sweater being worn and washed constantly, can’t you? Comfy is good in the machines, I’m sure it’ll be no trouble at all.

Alison also made two versions of In Threes: A Baby Cardigan (pattern HERE) in Comfy Worsted Heathers. She used about three skeins in Overcast Heather and Nettle Heather for the 18 month size. If you have a friend expecting a baby, this is a sure-fire layering option for so many seasons.

We’re really loving Comfy Worsted Heathers, and are already lamenting that they will only be here for a short time.
