I'm a beginner

[Purls'NCurls]

Seriously. A very green beginner. All I can do is knit stitch and purl. I'm making a scarf that is knit 2 purl 1. It has taken me all winter just to get half way done. I have a new baby (well, she's 11m old today) and I want to make her some things. Any suggestions for an easy project for her?

Try some of the baby projects in Mason Dixon knitting book. Making washcloths too would give you practice and is a confidence builder. :hug:

Welcome!

Bibs and blankets are pretty easy starter projects and good practice.

Cottons are good for washcloths.

I've made several. They're cute, quick, and easy.

As for materials, cotton yarns and acrylics are great for baby items since you can toss them in the wash.

I always use cotton. It's very easy to care for. Buy a nice cotton if you make dishcloths, washcloths or bibs. Otherwise, You could use cotton blends. There are some nice ones out there!!!
