I have only just recently discovered the joy of knitting little huggable stuffed animals for children. I mean how cute is that? And there are so many choices, bears, bunnies, lambs, about anything you could think of.

So basically whatever your child would want is available in a pattern. Not many of these are on an easy knitting level. Usually intermediate, but don’t let that scare you. If you break it down into pieces it will be simple and then you sew it together. Very soft and very huggable. Please enjoy this very fun huggable bear knitting pattern from Berroco.

Here is another Two needle sock knitting pattern, These socks are very fun and they stay on becuase of the high top. They are really like booties. Very cute.

It occurred to me one of the reasons I love knitting for babies is the yarn. I mean really have you thought about this? It is soooooooo soft and squishy, hold it next to your cheek and you feel calm and gentle and you think babies. So what am I saying here, we all know baby yarn is great. Well here it is, wait for it…

Baby yarn should be used for us adults too!!

Yes! I mean it. What stops us from using this incredible yarn for some little something for ourselves? Oh I am not suggesting you use it to knit an ensemble. We know that it would take dozens of balls of yarn to make an adult outfit. But it would not take too much to make a scarf, can you imagine that up against your neck and face on a cold wintry day? I can.

So I had to try it. A few posts ago, I told you about that phenomenal deal I got on some fabulous baby yarn on my day trip. It was fantastic! But I didn’t really have a plan for the yarn. I’m sure you have done that yourselves. You see a beautiful color, or wonderful texture and you impulse buy it or the contingency plan that you will, of course, have an opportunity to use it eventually.

So I decided to use it for me. I made one of those little neck kerchiefs that really hug your face, one tail of the scarf slides into a loop on the other end and it snugs up to your chin. I love it. And it is so SOFT!

Cup of Yarn – Scarf Knitting Kit with Wooden Knitting Needles & Instructions: Cool Mint

What can I say? It was brilliant. I had so much fun. Hey I like knitting for me too. I sure you do too. Try some baby yarn next time.

Try this pattern, it is so elegant and beautiful. And when you use baby yarn it is to die for. So nice because you can make it any size you like. Based on how much yarn you have and how much energy you want to expend.

The pattern is in multiples of 10, so just cast on how ever many you want for the width of your choice. Use any size needle you want, realizing that a larger needle is going to take more yarn. Enjoy.
