The problem with searching for knitting ideas for newborns is that baby knits often fall into a very broad category.

We've made it easy on you, and collected a bunch of knitting ideas made specifically for newborns, or babies under three months old. From hats the can wear on their most sensitive spot until they get bigger and stronger, to blankies they can carry with them for the rest of their life, take these knitting ideas and create some special for your new treasure.
Did you know the newborn's body is made up of 300 to 350 parts, whereas humans only have 206 bones? That's because some of the cartilaginous parts of the baby fuse as they get older, including those in their heads. These knitting ideas for hats will do well to protect the soft newborn's head, and keep your little bundle of sunshine warm, especially if he or she is a winter baby.
