ravelry roundup: 5 amazing knitting projects for baby

for this month's roundup, i am highlighting my favorite projects for babies and kids! i don't know about you but i've reached that age where all my friends are having kids, and i'm constantly trying to think of cool ideas to knit for them. i scoured ravelry, and here are 5 of my favorite projects that i found:

1. this sweet shark plushie:

my go-to for new babies is stuffed animals, because they won't grow out of them too fast. this looks like a quick and easy project!

i'm already thinking of different color combos and ways to personalize these. how cute would it be to make each element a different color or make stripes in the garter stitch?
