Baby and nursery patterns

Soft, cheerful designs for babies and nurseries: animals, stars, clouds and pastels, from birth samplers to C2C blankets.

For a new arrival

A new baby is one of the best reasons to make something by hand. A C2C crochet blanket or a knitted panel takes a few weeks; a small cross stitch for the nursery wall takes a few evenings; a fuse bead decoration takes an afternoon. Each pattern page lists the finished size and the materials, so you can plan to finish before the due date.

Safety first

Anything that goes in a cot or near a baby should be soft and safe: no beads, buttons or loose threads within reach. Keep fuse bead pieces as wall decorations out of reach, and use baby-safe yarn for blankets.

Personalise it

Add the baby's name with the text tools, and change the colours to match the nursery in the editor.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good first baby project?

A small cross stitch animal for the nursery wall, or a C2C blanket square if you crochet.

Can I add a name and birth date?

Yes. Make a text chart with the text tool and stitch it below the motif.

Are fuse beads safe for babies?

No, beads are a choking hazard. Use fuse bead pieces only as decorations well out of reach.

Are the patterns free?

Yes, every pattern is free with a printable PDF.
