There’s something especially meaningful about knitting for a newborn. The process feels slower, more intentional every stitch made with care for someone just beginning their journey in the world.
This little set was made for a dear friend’s baby and travelled all the way to Rotterdam. Choosing the yarn, knitting each tiny piece, and finally sending it off was a quiet reminder of how handmade items can carry warmth across distance.
Cozy Craft Studio brought in the Babytoly 100% Organic Cotton just at the right time, when I was searching for a suitable yarn for a newborn.
Although animal fibres are generally warmer and more suitable for winter, I was concerned that a baby’s delicate skin might not tolerate it well. Cotton felt like the safest and most comfortable choice.
After going through the colour list, I chose Duck Egg Blue. Yes, blue because it’s for a boy 😉

Mini notes:
I’m using crochet bind off.
- For ribbing not require stretchy, bind off with 2.75 hook
- For ribbing require stretchy, bind off with 3.00 hook
Few tried on the sleeve joining method. At the end I still prefer and go with invisible seam. Which I graft the stitches in pattern.
Using total of 7 balls for the onesies. 1 ball for the beanie. Since having extra 2 balls. Make a matching scrunchie for mummy 🥰
