Review
Small Sweaters: Colorful Knits For Kids is a whole book of sweaters for children. Colorful, festive sweaters. The designs in Small Sweaters incorporate lots of animals (horses, dogs, birds, fish) plus elements from traditional Norwegian folk art presented in the vivid, unexpected colors of the Nordic landscape. Clearly written charts and graphs make the instructions easy to follow; and there are color photographs of the completed garments. A unique chapter provides generic patterns for making a hat, mittens, and socks with leftover yarn. All the patterns in Small Sweaters can be adapted for machine knitting as well. Small Sweaters is a wonderful addition to any personal knitter's collection or a public library needlecraft bookshelf! -- Midwest Book Review

Beautiful Colorful Sweaters for Children of ALL Sizes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Small Sweaters: Colorful Knits for Kids (Paperback)
Finally a book with lots of beautifully designed and colored sweaters for children of ALL ages. Some of the patterns are so oversized they would fit a small adult. Directions and charts are clear and concise. I now have lovely nordic patterns for my older children.

a riot of colors and beautiful patterns,

This review is from: Small Sweaters: Colorful Knits for Kids (Paperback)
I am simultaneously in love and frustrated with this book. The patterns are fascinating and so full of character. If you like Fair Isle this is a must to have a look at! I made a wool hat for a toddler from the book and there began my frustration. The book is a translation from Norwegian and uses Norwegian yarn without providing yarn equivalents or any of the standard names (dk, aran wool, worsted weight, etc). Gauge and needle size are provided but unless you know a bit about knitting its a bit of a chore figuring out which yarn you need. I ended up fiddling with the size of the needle to adjust to the pattern gauge and, while utterly pleased with the result, do wish that a neat little yarn conversion page had been added by the publisher!

Not for the Beginner, but Definitely a Must-Have!,
This review is from: Small Sweaters: Colorful Knits for Kids (Paperback)
I am a beginning knitter and these are exactly the kinds of sweaters and leggings I want to be making for my children in a few years. Great Scandinavian designs that will not disappoint.Colorful and vary in the sizas you can make the patterns. Another must-have for the knitter with children or grandchildren. Happy knitting!!
