Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Well known in England as a children's knitwear designer, Mellor speaks to the needs of young mothers who wish to knit something special for their children but at the same time would like something exciting and colorful to wear themselves. The result is not your standard look-alike "mother-child" outfits. She will use, for instance, the same yarns to create a stripped moss-stitch sweater for the son and a Kelim jacket for his mother. Although some knitted hats are included, most of the designs are for intarsia sweaters. Each design is pictured in full-color photographs and is fully charted. Primarily for the experienced knitter; recommended for public libraries.

Zoë Mellor’s vibrant knitwear collection features designs that both mothers and kids will love.

Children will delight in the farmyard sweater, camel jacket, and circus cardigan, while their mothers will adore the richly worked kilim jacket and the witty starfish and stripes sweater. Each project includes easy–to–use charts and instructions and a fetching array of color photos.

This review is from: Colorful Knits for You and Your Child: Over 25 Original Knitwear Designs (Library Binding)
original colourful designs for experienced intarsia knitters.i have knitted all the designs in this book in the stated yarns.most of the medium sized kids designs took 3-5days.the adult star and bobbles took me just under 14 days, as a lot of ends needed sewing in.not a book to buy unless you are able to knit with lots of different balls of wool on each row of knitting.brilliant for bright knitted kids wear.

This review is from: Colorful Knits for You and Your Child: Over 25 Original Knitwear Designs (Hardcover)
I first found this book at my local library, and after taking it out several times decided I just had to have my own copy. These are the most whimsical children's and adult's designs. I haven't had the courage to tackle one yet, but look forward to the day I will make one. For now, I can open the book any time I want and enjoy Zoe's creativity.
