Baby hats are definitely the most fun to knit.

I love making booties. There cute, quick and they always get the best reactions from the moms.

My favorite article of clothing to knit for babies just has to be little cardigans. I adore a little light weight cotton cardigan that looks almost like a "swing" coat for a little girl. They're just perfect for a windy summer day, a warm fall day or any great day in between!

My favorite thing to have knitted for babies so far is the Dragon Skin Wrap by Angela Hahn. Result was beautiful and it was interesting and challenging.

My Favorite item to knit for babies is to Crochet something from one of Candi Jensens books, or my own designs (http://preview.tinyurl.com/2mbofj) so far my knitting has been confined to blankets etc but am More than willing to learn & this bookis a great way to start because it's another GREEN book.

Already recycle everything anyone would accept and lets face it there are all those clothes that don't fit anymore and have not yet gone to our local homeless shelter. In today's world and the economy another way to save, reuse or recycle is More than Welcome!

I've certainly got the stack of sweaters to work with, I never throw anything away!

I like knitting baby booties. They're not much of an investment in case the new parents don't have time to fuss with the proper care of a handknit item.

I LOVE TO CROCHET AND KNIT FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN. CROCHETED A DRESS, PURPLE AND TRIMMED IN LIME GREEN FOR MY GRANDAUGHTER JUST LAST WEEK. KNITTING STOCKING CAPS AND BLANKETS FOR THE LITTLE ONES. MY LATEST KNITTING PROJECT IS KNITTING SOCKS,I DON'T HAVE A PAIR DONE YET. HOWEVER I HAVE KNITTED MARY JANE BOOTIES. LAST WEEKEND FELTED SOME ITEMS AND MADE A DARLING PILLOW, TURNED OUT SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE.

I love knitting little jackets & hats, especially for coming home from the hospital!

Definitely, hats are the most fun!

I wish I could knit - but I would have to say as a young mom, my favorite thing for my daughter that was knitted was booties as they were one of the only things that I could get to stay on her feet :)

Well, IF I could knit, I'd knit tiny little baby hats with big, floppy flowers :)

Definitely love knitting little baby sweaters.

Wee sweet baby sweaters!

I'd say little baby caps. They're so adorable.

I love knitting baby sweaters, using a variety of yarns and styles. I like new, different and intereting patterns.

booties and hats!

(test as well, is this now allowing us to post again?)

Definitely sweaters - because it is so satisfying to say "I knit a sweater" but it didn't take very long. But stick to cardigans to avoid head fit issues.

I like knitting hats & little jackets, especially for the baby's arrival at home.

I don't knit much, but I crochet a ton. I love making blankets for the wee ones,

I love knitting baby hats, although Cat Bordhi's socks are a close second. Hats are quick and easy to knit for others, and can ususally be done using stash yarn.

I absolutely adore knitting booties or socks for babies! (but I bet you could have guessed that just looking @ my name, eh?)

Thank you for the contest! The book looks awesome!

I like to knit baby caps, they are quic, i love the symmetry of working in the round, and the babies look so cute in them!

I can't seem to make enough felted booties for all the babies that I know! The knitting is quick, the felting is magic and then I embroider tiny vines, flowers and french knots. Soft wool yarn makes them wearable on all but the hottest days. Several moms have told me that dolls are now wearing the booties and one special pair is hanging on the family Christmas tree as a special keepsake!
Thank you!

I like knitting baby cardigans with a single button or a simple tie closure.

I love to make baby blankets (with matching booties and hats if I have time) they're traditional, not something the kid will grow out of right away (hey, everyone needs a blankie!), and they can be as easy or as difficult as you want them to be. I also love to knit toys since they're so much fun to make and give! Great question and contest, thanks!

I love knitting for babies in any shape form or fashion. If I am knitting a blanket in the softest yarn....then that is my favorite. If I happen on a new yarn that patterns just a little differently and it becomes a hat....that is my favorite. If I happen on an interesting pattern of booties.....well.....you guessed it .....that is my favorite.

I live in a family that seems to produce new members at an amazing rate. But my favorite of all is knitting for the little one's that I have never or will never meet. Lately I have been knitting for the local hospital here at Ft Hood Texas. There are always babies coming in and lately someone in the same family is catching that plane that flies over my home on it's way to defend a way of life.

So I guess my favorite thing to knit for babies???......maybe just that little bit of love that goes into whatever happens to be on my needles.

always alice

I like knitting baby cardigans from old patterns and up dating them with new yarns and details. They knit up a lot faster than adult sweaters and then the baby has a custom item in their wardrobe.

bright colored, funky hats!!!

My favorite knitting project for babies are "premmie caps" made with the softest yarn for the premature babies who are in the NeoNatal Intensive Care Unit at our local hospital. Since these wee ones are born unexpectedly and are so tiny, they need special cuddley and warm caps. This is such a worthwhile project that I hope others will try it as well!

I love knitting blankets for babies - there is one I made that has become the blanket for her doll now that she is older

Bibs. Easy, portable and the new mommy can never have enough :^)

I just made a bakers dozen as a gift.

My favorite project for babies would be bibs knitted in the soft, pastel cotton colors and trimmed in white. Six or eight bibs makes a great gift! Love them!

Too late for the giveaway, but I'll have to pick this up anyway. Now where did I pack away my old sweaters?!

Yay! Interesting.

My neighbor and friend makes the cutiest felted baby booties. Some are Mary Janes or even little piggies. She loves to knit and is very into felting right now. I love the idea of reusing old sweaters.

Thank you very much for the great information-
Thanks

Booties -- Always gets Oohs and Aahs at the baby shower and they're small enough for my short knitting attention span.

I love to recycle sweaters, I deconstruct them back into yarn or use them as is. Fuzzy angora sweaters in natural colors make the cutest little bunnies. Knit a tight rectangle then sew and stuff with wool stuffing. They keep their warmth when babies hug them. They make a great shower gift. I have also made them for elderly friends who need a little extra love beside them when times are hard.
Thanks Karen

I love knitting, and it is so much fun making baby things. I have 14 great grand babies and 1 great great grand son. They keep me busy.
