Collection: Premature Baby Knitting Patterns

Our collection of Premature Baby Knitting Patterns, also known as Preemie Knitting Patterns, features over 80 traditional knitting patterns for babies from approximately 3 lb through to 3 months. Many of our patterns include five sizes within a single pattern, while only requiring one set of instructions, making them easy to follow as you knit different sizes.

Every pattern includes clear, row-by-row instructions, making it easier to place buttonholes, maintain stitch patterns during shaping and achieve a professional finish. The smaller sizes are knitted in 4 ply yarn, while the larger sizes use DK (Double Knitting) yarn. The finished size is achieved through the combination of yarn thickness, needle size and knitting tension.

Our premature baby knitting patterns are also suitable for 15–22 inch reborn dolls, making them ideal for both tiny babies and realistic reborn collections.

With over 80 patterns to choose from, you'll find a wide variety of traditional designs, including cardigans, jackets, dresses, rompers, bodysuits, all-in-ones, onesies, sleepsuits, shorts, sweaters, hats, bonnets, bootees and themed outfits, giving you plenty of choice for every occasion.

Since 2011, DollieBabies has specialised in designing traditional baby and reborn doll knitting patterns with practical sizing information, timeless styling and clear, easy-to-follow instructions.
