Knitting Pattern Books Featuring Baby Blankets
51 Patterns for Knitted Baby Blankets and Cuddle Bags
If you’d like to knit an exquisite, heirloom-quality baby blanket or a cuddle bag (also known as a sleep sack or baby cocoon), this is a pattern book worth taking a look at.
This book isn’t going to be for everyone, because most of the patterns require small needles and thin, fine yarns — as well as the patience required to work with these materials. But if you’re a patient knitter, this book is worth taking a look at.

Dogs on Sweaters: Knitting Patterns for 18 Different Dog Breeds
Looking at the front cover of this book, you might wonder why it’s on this list of my top picks for the best baby knitting pattern books. The book’s title doesn’t mention anything about baby knitting.
But babies and baby knitting projects are heavily featured in this pattern book, which includes a variety of patterns for people of all ages. My favorite projects in the book happen to be the baby patterns, some of which you can customize to make the perfect gift for the sweet newborn arrival.
It’s true that this book only has relevance if you’re planning to knit for a baby who was born (or will be born) into a dog-loving family — because all of these pattern designs are intended to include dog designs on them.
Here’s a list of the baby projects included in the book:
- A patchwork baby blanket that incorporates a variety of dog breeds and utilizes multiple charts from the book;
- A baby’s customizable raglan sleeve pullover sweater; you customize this design by choosing one of the dog charts from the book to incorporate into the design;
- A baby’s customizable cardigan sweater;
- Three different dog-themed patterns for baby booties, including pug booties, Jack Russell terrier booties, and dachshund booties;
- And a one-piece, long sleeved baby romper with dalmation spots.
