Suffering from “pink” or “lace fatigue”? Desperately seeking adorable patterns for baby and toddler boys? Look no more: you’re covered here!

Do you ever get “pink fatigue”?

Most knitters love knitting for tiny girl babies. It’s easy to see why; baby girl knitting patterns are plentiful and precious.

However, knitting for baby girls nearly always seems to entail pink everything. And while pink is a lovely color, there are so many other worthwhile colors, no?

You might also get “lace fatigue,” which is a similar sort of issue. Perhaps you fear your eyes will stay crossed for good if you have to knit one more set of yarnovers.

Fortunately, I have good news for you: baby and toddler boys (and their parents) deserve some handknitted joy, too!

Below are several different types of patterns for baby and toddler boys: hats, socks, fingerless mitts, and sweaters. So take a look and consider trying one out for your next charity knitting or gift project!
