It’s a ritual for parents everywhere. After the supplies have been gathered and lunches have been packed, it’s time for back-to-school pictures. You know the ones: standing in the front yard or in front of the school, backpack and all, smiling and ready for the first day.
As you get ready for the new school year, why not knit something picture-perfect for your eager and excited little ones on their first day? Not only will those pictures become special memories as your child grows but their knitted outfit will become a precious heirloom!
Check out these 6 kids’ clothing patterns, perfect for any child’s first day of school this fall:
Top row (left to right): simple sweater from Clever Knits, pup sweater from Paintbox Knits, yellow bow cardigan from Paintbox Knits
Bottom row (left to right): striped sweater from More Paintbox Knits, fall cardigan from More Paintbox Knits, hearts cardigan from Paintbox Knits

I like sweaters with lots of color–especially for children–whether that is stripes or color blocking or intarsia.
