The publishers of this book certainly know how to pick patterns! The book is chock full of darling sweaters, vests, toys, socks, blankets and hats for your special little people. The directions are explicit, telling you everything you need to know for yarn and needle size, yarn quantities and level of difficulty. Some of the sizes are for infants, but some are sized up to 4 years. This is a lovely book to add to your knitting library.
