About the service
I hand-knit made-to-order baby blanket and cap sets using soft yarns chosen specifically for infant skin: merino wool blends, bamboo-cotton, and hypoallergenic acrylic for households that prefer machine-washable care. Each set is knitted as a matching pair — a blanket sized for a bassinet, crib, or stroller (typical finished sizes run from 75×90 cm up to 100×120 cm), and a fitted or slouch-style cap sized to the baby's age from newborn through 12 months.
Stitch pattern options include classic garter, basket weave, cable panels, shell lace, and a bobble-stitch border; I can also knit a short name or birth date into the blanket corner using intarsia lettering. Colors and themes are fully custom: soft neutrals for a gender-neutral shower gift, pastel shades matched to a nursery, or a specific request such as forest animals, stars, or a favorite sports team's colors. Send me a photo of the nursery or a swatch of fabric and I will match the yarn shade as closely as possible.
Before starting, I confirm gauge and finished dimensions with you and knit a small swatch first for your approval on color and stitch density. Every piece is blocked after knitting to even out the stitches and set the shape, then washed in a gentle wool wash and air-dried. The finished set ships folded in tissue paper inside a drawstring cotton bag suitable for gifting directly, with washing instructions attached.
Turnaround depends on complexity: a plain garter set takes about a week, while a cabled set with intarsia lettering needs closer to two weeks. Rush orders for a baby shower date are possible if you contact me with the deadline before ordering. I can also knit two coordinating sets at once for twins, with a discount on the second set.
