5.0 out of 5 stars If you knit for small kids, you GOTTA have this book!, January 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Knits: 32 Original Designs for 0-3 Year Olds (Paperback)

Any knitter knows how hard it is to find good patterns for toddler sizes. Debbie Bliss fills this gap with 32 original patterns, ranging from the tradition of arans and fair isles to the trendiness of western and Chanel-inspired designs. The difficulty levels range from basics even a beginner could complete, to expert, which would challenge the most experienced knitter. Since the patterns will not go out of style, and since the difficulty levels will allow the knitter to "grow" with the book, I would advise even knitters with no small children to knit for right now to get this book for their libraries

5.0 out of 5 stars Challenging but beautiful designs, August 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Knits: 32 Original Designs for 0-3 Year Olds (Paperback)

I own this book and have used it to make baby gifts. Be warned that the sizing is quite generous....my average sized daughter was still wearing a sweater from this book supposedly meant for a 12 month old baby when she fit into a 3T!

4.0 out of 5 stars Filled with beautiful but difficult patterns, October 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Knits: 32 Original Designs for 0-3 Year Olds (Paperback)

The pictures are beautiful and the patterns are creative. The jacket on this book implies that the patterns in the book are "easy" patterns. I am afraid they are far from easy! This book is geared toward the more advanced knitter. If you are comfortable with more complicated knitting techniques you will find this book a great source for knitting ideas.
