Crocheting and knitting for kids might just be the most fun thing ever! In this category at Yarnplaza, you’ll find plenty of knitting and crochet kits—from cuddly toys to blankets, and from adorable cardigans to playpen mobiles. In this blog post, we’ll share the best knitting and crochet kits for babies and kids.
When you become a mom, everything changes! Big things, but also little ones. You probably know the feeling: you head into town with a wish list and plenty of ideas for new outfits. Time to really treat yourself to some trendy clothes. But before you’ve even made it to the women’s section, those cute kids’ outfits are already calling out to you. And the result of your day of shopping: bags full of stuff… for the kids!
And it’s the same with crafts. At least, it is here at home. I see so many beautiful women’s tops and cozy cardigans popping up. But then again, that kids’ poncho is just so cute! And the look on your little one’s face when you’ve made another new cuddly toy for him or her… priceless. And what could be more fun than showing up at a baby shower with a handmade gift? Crocheting and knitting make me incredibly happy. And when I get to give away my crochet or knitting project and receive a grateful smile in return, it makes me twice as happy. That’s why today we’re sharing our favorite knitting and crochet kits for babies and kids with you. Share the happiness! ?
1. Cute baby and kidswear
Your little one might not have been born yet, but you’ve been thinking about him or her all day long. And waiting can feel like forever… We’ve selected a few kits for you to help pass the time. First up is the Phil Pima Baby Cardigan Knitting Kit (image 2). Using the ultra-soft Phildar Phil Pima cotton yarn, you’ll knit your baby’s very first cardigan. Another adorable design from Phildar that we were more than happy to put together into a kit is the Phil Cabotine Baby Sweater Knitting Kit (image 1).
Has your “little one” grown a bit? Then maybe the Fair Cotton Craft Kids’ Sweater (image 5) is just the thing for him or her. Thanks to the yarn used (100% organic cotton) and the colorful stripes, it’s the perfect choice for a cheerful spring day or a trip to the beach.
Like mother, like daughter. Matching outfits are totally trendy (and secretly so much fun!). New at Yarnplaza are the BudgetYarn Poncho Crochet Kits (image 3). One for you and one for your mini-me. Besides the fact that you’ll both look gorgeous in these ponchos (as always!), they’ll also keep you nice and warm on those slightly cooler spring and summer days. For the knitters among us, we’d love to showcase the Phil Love Cotton Kids’ Poncho Knitting Kit (image 4).
2. The Most Beautiful Decor for the Nursery
It’s one of the most fun tasks during pregnancy: decorating the nursery. Maybe you already have a clear picture of how you want it to look. Colorful, but not too busy. And accessories that go together perfectly. Have you seen our Rainbow Collection yet? With these kits, you can crochet the cutest decorations for the nursery or baby’s room—like a rug, a Music Box, and a wall hanging. Of course, these kits are available in the standard rainbow colors, but also in vintage shades and blue or pink versions.
3. Adorable little blankets for the littlest ones
Are you hooked on your Dream Blanket? The popular Dream Blanket 2.0 and Dream Blanket 3.0 (image 4) are now also available in crib and cot sizes. Wonderfully soft, warm, yet breathable, and available in eight trendy colors that are sure to match your little one’s room. A dream gift for every (grand)child! Another blanket that really stands out is the six-color Charming baby blanket (image 3). The crocheted spiderweb stitch creates a fun effect and gives it a supple texture.
If you'd rather pick up your knitting needles to make a baby blanket, consider the Ribbel Baby Blanket Knitting Kit (image 1) or the Baby Dream Baby Blanket (image 2) made with the special Rico Baby Dream yarn.
4. Put a smile on every little face with these cuddly bunnies
If you’ve ever given a child a handmade gift, you know that not only is making it addictive, but so is the reaction when you give the gift. The smile, those sparkling eyes, and the heartwarming hug will melt your heart. We have a wide variety of knitting and Crochet Kits for Cuddly Toys in our collection, but the Cuddly Toys remain all-time favorites. There’s a Crochet Kit (image 1) and a Knitting Kit (image 2) for a stuffed bunny.
5. Yarnplaza’s Postpartum Gift Sets: a pampering gift set for mother and child
Fun to receive and to give! These DIY baby shower kits are sure to delight any creative mom-to-be. And if that sweet sister or friend isn’t a Haakster, just pick up the hook yourself and, when you go for a postpartum visit or a baby shower, give her a little box full of love and baby joy as a gift.
