💬 What's your speediest baby knit
If you have an evening to spare and need to make something urgently for a newly arrived baby, what’s your speediest baby knit?
I always grab some worsted weight yarn (or hold a couple of 4ply strands together) and knit a Barley Hat - a fab (and free) pattern from Tin Can Knits.
Given more time I always tend to opt for a baby blanket as they are endlessly adaptable and can become a firm family favourite for years.
But when needs must…it’s a quick hat every time.
How about you?

DK garter stitch cardigan knitted in one piece - a old Phildar pattern which I’ve used for all my nephews and nieces - the oldest of which is now 52, as well as my own children who are now in their twenties & thirties, now the great nieces & nephews - always in an olive green because I don’t believe in gendered baby clothes.
The Call the Midwife blanket or DK garter stitch cardigan all in one but finding buttons always slows down the finishing of that one
