"British knitwear designer Bliss presents some 20 designs for babies and toddlers."  —Library Journal

Product Description

Debbie Bliss presents 20 adorable new designs for babies and toddlers—from blankets and booties to cardigans, twin sets, and coats—all using soft, snuggly yarns.

Debbie Bliss is the most stylish and accessible children’s knitwear designer working today. In Simply Baby, she returns with a cuddly collection of clothing and accessories for newborns to two-year-olds. Some designs are simple to make, such as the striped hat and the ribbon-tie booties. As novice knitters gain confidence, they, and more experienced knitters, will enjoy the designs that introduce new elements, like edging or cabling. Each project—from a lace-edged cardigan to a cashmere coat—is knitted in beautiful yarns that are not only gentle against young skin but are also easy to care for. Complete with step-by-step instructions, charts, and charming photos, this is another irresistible collection from the foremost designer of knitwear for babies and children. Debbie Bliss, former designer for Baby Gap, is the best-selling author of more than a dozen books, including Baby Knits for Beginners, The Baby Knits Book, Debbie Bliss Knitting Workbook, How to Knit, and Classic Knits for Kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to intermediate Baby knits, April 25, 2007
This review is from: Simply Baby: 20 Special Handknits for Baby's First Two Years (Hardcover)
There are so many DORKY baby patterns out there. Debbie Bliss has some beautiful classic shapes that even a "advanced" beginner like myself can attempt. My "neice-to-be" will love the new clothes!! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, August 28, 2007
By C. Cyr "Cincity" (Hartford, CT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Simply Baby: 20 Special Handknits for Baby's First Two Years (Hardcover)
I've only knit the baby shrug so far, but as someone who does not have a lot of experience with knitting garments, I loved the instructions. Very clear, easy to follow. The yarns are gorgeous. Soothing to work with. I would recommend this to anyone. The book itself is nicely laid out with beautiful pictures of the knitting and the babies...

1.0 out of 5 stars not simple, October 6, 2007
This review is from: Simply Baby: 20 Special Handknits for Baby's First Two Years (Hardcover)
Simply Baby

This was very disappointing. The first pattern I started had a mistake. I am an intermidiate knitter and should not have had any problems knitting this pattern. This is the second Debbie Bliss pattern in a row that has had a mistake. It seems as if Debbie Bliss is not concerned about customer satisfaction of quality control. I will NEVER buy a Debbie Bliss pattern book again, and am considering returning this one.

I wish they would check the measurements they recommend for the various ages. They don't make sense: at least in one case, the instructions had two huge mistakes. Read more
