3.0 out of 5 stars Kids Knit Patterns January 5, 2012

By Blumenmom

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I ordered this book thinking I would have a number of possibilities for my 6 year old granddaughter, but somehow very few of the offerings struck me as of interest/appropriate. Maybe I am being too picky, but somehow complicated lace patterns was not exactly what I thought I was getting. I will keep the book and try some items, like the sun cover-up, but I was kinda disappointed.

By Jeanne Harper

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have been knitting for about 12 years now and one of my favorite things to knit is things for my kids, especially my daughter. This book is amazing. Such great patterns and to me they all seem fairly easy, for someone knitting as long as me. I really love the variety and I love buying a book where I feel I would want to knit about every pattern! A must have!

I was looking for some summery garment projects to knit for my niece's 18 month old girl and 2 year old boy. I found a number of great projects in this book. I'd gladly recommend this book to others.
