Baby · 6 listings
Baby projects are small, but they are not automatically easy. A lovey has finishing, a helmet has size, and a hat in the round is still circular knitting.
Six listings: Lion Brand’s Easy helmet and Kitty Lovey, Yarnspirations’ Easy DK blanket, Purl Soho’s beginner garter blanket and unrated Top Knot hat, and Cascade’s unrated Lullaby blanket-and-hat PDF.

Before choosing
A baby hat that looks simple can still miss the published range. Use the brand’s measurements, especially for helmets and top-knot hats.
Top Knot Baby Hat and Lullaby Blanket and Hat have no skill stamp in this inventory. A hat in the round with I-cord, or a blanket plus a hat, may be more than a first washcloth.
Baby yarns are chosen for softness. If you substitute, match the publisher’s fiber story, not only the weight number.
