Kids Knitted Sweaters & More [Paperback]

Kooler Design Studio (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2006

Following their creed of minimal finishing, Deb and Lynda Gemmell and fellow Cabin Fever designers bring you more than 30 delightful fashions for children. Most of the designs are knit in one piece or constructed from one of three different directions. Choose a cozy pullover knit in the round from the bottom up or from the top down. Or choose a cardigan or vest made in one piece, working back and forth on a circular needle. These can also be knitted from the top down with no seams to sew. For something different, work a sweater from each of the cuffs and then join in the middle. There also is a poncho, beaded bag, tunic and hat, hoodie vest, and bare midriff slipover. Your special little ones will love wearing these amazing creations, which are great for experienced as well as beginning knitters

There are so many designs in here and they are done for the sewing allergic folks like me. If you love to make kids'sweaters but hate sewing them up, this is the book you need. Even if you love the sewing you will find designs in here you want to make. There are different sorts of designs like the little Chanel jacket and the sweater like a jeans jacket. This book is well worth its price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great "dip your feet in the water" book for new knitters, January 24, 2009

This review is from: Kids Knitted Sweaters & More (Paperback)

I've been practicing knitting stitches for a few weeks now, and a sales person at my local independent yarn store just said, "stop practicing, make your daughter a sweater already!" (or something to that effect.) So I bought this book and found the simplest, yet super cuter, cardigan I could find. Honestly, I haven't finished the project yet, but I am finding the instructions exceedingly well written, especially for a rank beginner. I can hardly wait to make more of projects in this book. Nothing is too fussy, all are stylish and modern designs.

This book is just what I wanted. I was looking for an easy, no-sew pattern for vests--this is the book. It's from the same authors that did "Top Down for Toddlers."
