4.0 out of 5 stars So Cute, October 31, 2007

I fell in love with Itty Bitty Hats, and this little gem is just as adorable. With 3 small people of my own, plus friends having babies, this book will keep me busy. Lots of great ideas, inspiration and beautifully styled. I always say a good knitting book is when you want to knit at least 5 patterns from it. This has about 10 that I want to knit.

What can't I say about this book that isn't awesome? From the easy to manipulate format (love spiral bound pattern books, no keep-the-book-open weight needed), to the incredibly inventive knitted projects, I adore Itty-Bitty Nursery. I can't wait to make the cupcake hat, the tea set, so many things. Get it; you won't be sorry.

The designs are very thought out and creative. Easy instructions. I love the little knit animal pacifier clips. They are so cute! The tea set is also adorable! I love that this has such different patterns and they are so easy! I was confused on how to do something and she emailed me back with a link to a video on her blog. It showed me exactly what I needed!
