3.0 out of 5 stars Very cute designs, but incredibly limited sizes, March 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kid's Knits for Heads, Hands, and Toes: More Than 40 Original Patterns for 0-7 Years Olds (Paperback)

I just got this book; because the subtitle said "...0-7 year olds", I assumed it would be a great resource. However, most of the patterns are for one size only, or for a limited size range. The adorable duck, teddy, and mouse caps include instructions only for up to sizes 9 or 12 months. And the patterns for bigger kids often have just one size, like 2 years for the 'Peruvian Hat' or 5-7 years for the 'Diamond Pattern Crochet Hat'. If you're not experienced enough to resize the patterns (I'm not), then think twice before getting this book.

I couldn't find much about what was included in this book before I bought it, so here's the index for those who may be considering this book:

Striped 'Wee Willie Winkie' hat, socks, teddy bear
Teddy bear hood, mittens, bootees
Duck hat, bootees

This is a fantastic book for beginning to advanced knitters. The projects are quick, and make great gifts for new babies and young children.

I am thrilled with this book finally some boy patterns that don't look girly. I am working on hats right now for my 7 year old. Thank You
