Knitting for children is always fun (they’re more likely to wear whatever you tell them to!), but spring is an especially enjoyable time for kids knitting patterns. It’s a great opportunity to use brightly colored yarns in colors you love, but wouldn’t normally choose for yourself. As the buds begin to spout and flowers begin to bloom, the gorgeous wool pastels and bold, hand-dyed fibers really pop with spring as a backdrop.

With so many special occasions and events that occur in spring now is the prime opportunity to get a head start on some adorable kids knits. Beautiful candy-colored knit cardigan patterns and darling cable knit sweaters are perfect for breezy April afternoons playing at the park. Charming girls’ skirt and dress patterns are perfect for an Easter luncheon or a May Crowning. And let’s not forget about the boys! Adorable knit scarf patterns and miniature knit hats in light blues and grays, and greens will please the pickiest of dressers.

This season, indulge your color cravings and whip up some of these darling kids knitting patterns. There’s a charming and easy knitting pattern for every son, daughter, nephew, niece, or grandchild in this list.
