Tip: You can find even more inspiration for baby jacket knitting instructions in our "News" section, where the latest patterns for knitwear are posted.

Baby jacket without sleeves

For autumn and spring, it is often enough to wear a warm waistcoat, i.e. a jacket without sleeves. Among the knitting patterns for baby jackets from Crazypatterns there are numerous instructions for waistcoats. This variant is easier to knit than a complete jacket because you don't have to add sleeves. It is also much quicker to finish. You can add buttons to the front to close it and place small pockets.

Cardigan with buttons or zip

The classic among jackets is the cardigan. This model can be knitted relatively thin or thicker. Cuddly and comfortable, you can add your favourite pattern to it thanks to our knitting patterns for baby jackets and knit a great baby jacket for your offspring. Small pockets, a zip or a closure with buttons are also suitable.

Jackets with creative patterns

At Crazypatterns you will find a variety of different knitting patterns that can be implemented on almost all knitwear. Even the baby jacket becomes more interesting with a creative pattern. In addition to the simple knitting patterns that are considered basics for knitting beginners, there are some elaborate and complicated patterns here. Decide on the appropriate pattern depending on your knitting level when ordering knitting patterns for baby jackets.

Wrap jacket

This jacket model is not buttoned or zipped, but wrapped. The material of a wrap jacket is therefore a little more generous and thinner, so that the baby can be wrapped easily at any time. These jackets are perfect as a light base layer under a thick jacket, overall or jumper. You'll find lots of design ideas for individual baby jackets in our knitting patterns for baby jackets. Models with beautiful motifs are also included.

Stylish hooded coat

A stylish coat keeps babies especially warm. If a hood is attached, you can even save a thick hat here. A hooded coat is generally knitted very generously and is available in numerous creative designs. A detail such as a beautiful pom-pom on the hood makes it look even better. The coat can best be closed at the front with large heads or with a zip. The length is quite different depending on the knitting pattern for baby jackets, there are short and medium length models. Extra-long baby coats are rather impractical if babies are still carried a lot and cannot walk yet.

Reversible jacket for more variety

The reversible jacket offers a varied design. It is knitted in such a way that it can be worn on both sides. Inside or outside doesn't matter - both designs stand out from each other thanks to the special knitting technique and can, for example, be plain or have a rainbow design.

Fashionable bolero jacket

The bolero jacket is another fashionable variant for baby jackets. This is often closed at the top with just one button and offers the child plenty of room to move. A comfortable companion for everyday wear - but also suitable for special occasions that call for something a little dressier.

Comfortable cardigan

Not to be left out of the list of baby jackets is the cardigan. This classic jacket model is ideal when a jacket needs to be comfortable, not too thick and yet fashionable. Knitting patterns for this model are also perfect if you are looking for a transitional jacket that is pleasantly warm in spring or autumn, but still doesn't make you sweat too much.

Traditional jacket

Are you planning to go to the Oktoberfest or a similar event soon? Of course, traditional costume fashion is not just for adults, but also an eye-catcher when worn by children. Even babies can be dressed in it. However, real leather goods are still unsuitable for small babies because they are relatively heavy and expensive. Much cheaper and easier to knit are traditional jackets, which you can easily make yourself with knitting patterns for baby jackets.

Baby jacket with motif or sayings

Each baby jacket can be decorated with an extra motif on the back. A sweet saying is also possible, as is the child's name. Simply choose the knitting patterns for baby jackets that are described with the matching motif or use a basic pattern and then creatively add your own motif ideas. If you haven't yet learned knitting techniques for adding specific motifs, you can do so in our tutorials. Alternatively, you can use patches that you sew onto the jacket. You can get them in many cute and child-friendly designs in needlework shops.

Tip: Suitable motifs for babies include cute animals, flowers or symbols.

Stylish denim jacket

Classic jeans are often relatively stiff and firm in material. For babies, very soft and cuddly materials are more suitable, such as knitted jackets, which can certainly imitate the jeans look. Use our knitting patterns for baby jackets to knit the matching jeans-look jacket by using blue yarns. Don't forget small pockets and other details here that make the jeans look perfect.

Fashionable raglan jacket

A raglan jacket is a particularly beautiful version of the baby jacket, which is why it cannot be missing from our knitting patterns for baby jackets. The model is knitted in the typical raglan style. Use the step-by-step instructions to help you with the technique.
