I find very few things more precious than baby knits. This one is extra adorable with it’s long tapered top and umbilical cord-looking dangly thing (because I know you like to hear the technical terms). Sew Liberated tells exactly how she knit this one up! Click

Sweet Tidings shares an absolutely darling little doll that she made using a free pattern from Smooch Designs. Doesn’t she look irresistibly squeezable? I want everybody to go make one of these to be loved by the special kiddo in your life. Off you go!

The Japanese have mastered the art of cuteness.

Woohoo! Remember this little guy? I’ve loved him from the beginning and mentioned him in one of my very first posts. Well….Early Bird Special is gifting the embroidery pattern to her readers! So awesome, and so very kind. Go on over to her place for the download!

I always wanted to make one of the these for my girls. They’re perfect for little peach-fuzz-headed babies and you can use them as is or attach clips to the ribbon. Check out Staker Sensations for the tutorial!

Tangarang has been exploring a circus theme lately and has most recently offered up this *very* cute embroidery pattern. Stitch one onto a bib or use all three on a set of onesies for a wonderful coordinated baby gift. Click over for the download!

This little snow bunny is all bundled up for the last few weeks of winter! Love those ears! Q.D. Patooties is generously sharing the pattern for your personal use. Just click on over! (Link)

I really like these personalized display pieces (as seen on Tip Junkie). Here they’re used for teacher gifts, but I think they’d be equally at home in a child’s bedroom or playroom. Link (Thanks Julie!)

These knitted toadstool rattles are absolutely darling and would be fitting for a boy or a girl. Check out The Purl Bee for the free pattern!

I love this monogrammed art piece inspired by a large chipboard “M.” Miki at Pursuit of Craftyness explains how it all came together by digging deep into her scrapbooking stash!

Holy smiling tushies, Batman! Look at those pants…I mean sleeves…I mean. Ok. Ok. I’m done amusing myself. These happy knickers are the handiwork of Just Tutes who fashioned them out of a pair of long sleeves. She’s got a great tutorial complete with fancy diagrams so that you can make some, too!

This growth chart is so much prettier than anything you’ll find in stores. It’s made from a board, some batting, and fabric and you can make one, too! Unraveled shares the pattern and all of the details.

Sometimes…I come across something…and the cuteness…is just…so…overwhelming. These bunnies are killing me!

This knitted bunny mobile is the brainchild of Hadley Fierlinger, who has a knitting pattern book coming out in the Fall of 2009. The pattern for this mobile will be included along with many other patterns for baby knits. The book will be called Vintage Knits for Modern Babies. Perfect. If you can’t wait for the book to come out, she has some pattern booklets available for download here.

Can you believe that this dress was made from a baby onesie and some extra fabric? Reuse your outgrown onesies or take advantage of massive clearance sales and let Dana get you started on making your own! Poke around a little, too, while you’re there. She makes the most gorgeous clothes for her kids!

Amy Cluck created this cute wooden plaque from velvet stickers she picked up at a craft store. Perfect for a child’s space and infinitely customizable based on the stickers. Simple ideas like these are my favorite!

I am LOVING this tutorial from Craftstylish. Learning to make a quilt has been on my list for quite some time but I find all of the cutting involved to be quite intimidating. This seems like the perfect first quilt for someone, or a great quick quilt for those last minute baby showers. Go check out the tutorial and make sure to read the comments for some great tips!

Have you ever met a more likable-looking robot? Check out Revoluzzza and read about the steps she took to make this adorable guy.  Then make a bunch in all different shapes and sizes and have a tea party!

The Purl Bee has a wonderful tutorial for putting together these simple bibs. Last minute baby shower gifts anyone? Anyone?
