#8 Knitted Diaper Pants for Babies
Here’s a great pattern to make a cute little pair of diaper pants for your little angel. With a baby in the house, you can just not have enough change of clothes. You never know when they might decide to wet their pants caused by a diaper leak or a tantrum involving a glass pilling over, so it’s always good to have some spares. With this pattern, you can make a nice pair of basic diaper pants, that are both comfortable and cute.

#9 Vintage Cabled Sweater & 2 Cardigans Trio
This pattern is so perfect for creating a winter formal attire for your baby. You can make a cute, cabled sweater and also choose a cardigan pattern to layer over the sweater. You can either pick one or go with both – the more the merrier, after all. (Don’t say that doesn’t apply on clothes, because I believe it applies on those better than it does on anything else.) Pair these up with some perfectly stitched pants, and your baby will be magazine-ready.
