It’s (Inter)National Crochet Month, which means I’ve been kinda neglecting the knitting this month. That’s just not fair to my long-time knitting readers, right? To make things up, today I’m sharing a roundup of 9 adorable, free knitting patterns for babies and kids, including hats, a softie, booties, and a sweater! I curated this roundup from AllFreeKnitting.com, a directory of over 12,000 (!) free knitting patterns, tutorials, tips, and more.
