5 Back to School Trends
We want to inspire you to prepare an exciting back-to-school experience. Therefore, we suggest these 5 children’s fashion trends that you can make following our Baby and Kids knitting patterns. As each child has their own personality, tastes, and clothing style, we want to encourage you to customize and adapt the designs to their personal needs and preferences.

Play with a combination of stitches in a simple, fun, and contemporary way. Knit textured garments such as jumpers, dresses, vests and jackets.
