Basic Baby Set

The Basic Baby Set is a timeless knitting pattern for a baby romper and matching bonnet with simple garter-stitch details and a clean, Scandinavian-inspired look. The romper is worked from the bottom up, while the bonnet is shaped with short rows and finished with an attached I-cord edging.

Cozy, practical, and beautifully minimal, this set is made for everyday wear while still feeling refined and classic.

Perfect for intermediate knitters looking for a modern baby knitting project. A thoughtful handmade gift for a baby shower, newborn, or first birthday — and a beautiful addition to any timeless or Scandinavian-inspired baby wardrobe.
