Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2006

Irresistibly cute baby hats with matching booties, in styles today's knitters will love.

BabyKnits Hats & Booties presents fifteen matching sets - thirty projects - to warm little heads and tootsies. Such sets have always been popular projects, the perfect gift for a newborn. These original patterns include both contemporary classics (like baby cables or wiggly stripes) and whimsical creations (like dots and ruffles). The matching booties share the same yarns and styling. The patterns use easy stitches and widely available yarns including bright cottons, soft baby weights, and novelty yarns. There are earflaps and curlicue tops and rosebuds. These projects will knit up quickly in time for a baby shower, and will be treasured by the lucky baby's family forever.

The only book I like better than this one, for kids hats is Itty Bitty Hats. Really you need to own both! These 2 books have the cutest hats for babies and children and they are a blast to make. With simple personalizations, you can make these styles into 100's more!
Highly Recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars Get Itty Bitty Hats instead, September 21, 2008

This book has some interesting stitches and some nice patterns. There is nothing in particular *wrong* with it. However, buy "Itty-Bitty Hats: cute and cuddly caps to knit for babies and toddlers" by Susan B. Anderson instead. The babies are cuter, the colours are much nicer and the patterns far more appealing. While I have made a couple of the hats in this book, and the patterns are okay, but not brilliantly written, I have made almost all of the hats in Itty-bitty hats and found the patterns very easy to follow.
