5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book!, October 30, 2001

This review is from: Pipsqueaks: Thirty-five Knitting Designs for Babies and Children up to Ten Years Old (Paperback)

I love this book. The designs are practical and contemporary. The book is well presented and attractive. I have spent hours with this book in one hand and yarn shade cards in the other - planning my next projects! There are very few designs I would not like to knit given limitless time and money. I have had difficulty obtaining some of the recommended yarns (in Australia) but have successfully substituted. The instructions are very easy to follow and are not difficult. There are diagrams showing the dimensions of the garment pieces, which I find invaluable when knitting for my 3 year old daughter who still has a chest measurement of a one year old but is much taller!

This book is so full of fabulous patterns that you really won't know which one to knit first. Five or six of them are sized for infants, but almost all of them can be made for two- or three-year-olds up to ten-year-olds. I've made a number of patterns from this book and have loved all the end products (as have their wearers).

Some of my favorites: Hero, a Rowan Denim roll-neck with a big white star on the chest; Lucky, a soft moss stitch cardigan for babies; Harry, a cool mock turtleneck with ribbed sleaves; and Daisy, a cardigan with huge flowers all over it. There are also two bags, a hat, two blankets, a pillow, and two scarves.

All of the patterns are pretty simple (beginning to intermediate knitters), but have a special something that makes them fun to make and to wear. I know I'll be knitting from this book for years.

The first thing I really loved about this book is that the patterns go up to age 10, a definite plus. Secondly, the models are absolutely beautiful, from all ethnic backgrounds, something you don't see everyday. And thirdly, the patterns are spectaular, especially Crumpet, Muffin, Jolly, Imp, Chill, and Daisy. You will find plenty of inspiration in this book.
Happy knitting!!!
