Marlow Hooded Coat – Baby Knitting Pattern (0–12 Months)

Wrap your little one in timeless comfort with the Marlow Hooded Coat, a beautifully simple baby knit designed for everyday wear. Worked entirely in garter stitch with minimal shaping, this cosy coat is an ideal project for confident beginners and seasoned knitters alike.

Featuring a snuggly hood, turn-back cuff sleeves, and neat in-set pockets, the Marlow combines practical details with classic charm. The clean lines and texture of garter stitch make it wonderfully tactile and comfortable for baby, while the thoughtful design ensures a perfect fit from newborn to 12 months.

Knit in the luxuriously soft Debbie Bliss Rialto DK, this pattern brings warmth, softness, and a beautiful drape — perfect for your little one’s first adventures.
