Product Description
From Booklist
It's difficult not to "ooh" and "aah" while flipping through the first third--featuring young models in always-in-style sweater designs--of Bliss' latest knits for children. It's also difficult not to wonder why she hasn't yet translated these handmade wearables into adult-size patterns. Only the brave novice and experienced stitchers should try to make any of the 30 patterns. Instructions are couched in the standard format, with U.S. sizes noted and sketches of pattern pieces included. No level of difficulty accompanies each design, and the specified yarns might be hard to locate in this country. Barbara Jacobs

the Best Bliss Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Classic Knits for Kids: 30 Traditional Aran and Guernsey Designs for 0-6 Years (Paperback)
....and I mean it. This one is really good. Like many other knitters I have been burned by Bliss' designs often. Her designs do tend to repeat themselves from collection to collection and the pictures, while cute, never show the designs properly. Well, this collection has b&w pictures of the items next to the instructions after the color pictures which are huddled in the front of the book. (I'm talking about a hardcover copy and am assuming that the paperback is identical). The designs are charming and definitely classics. I am buying my own paperback copy and finally returning my library copy. I also recommend the book Knits for Kids by Lena Stengard. This one is a keeper

Great example of knitter's "Bliss",
By mcraeak (Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classic Knits for Kids: 30 Traditional Aran and Guernsey Designs for 0-6 Years (Paperback)
I just counted, I have 7 books by Debbie Bliss. That is probably why I found this book to be a bit less enchanting than I had expected it to be. I like her books - enjoy the layout and can always understand the instructions. However, within the body of her work, this set of designs just seemed a little too similar to some in her other books for me to get excited. As a stand alone book, it has charming styles. I still give it a 4 for good instructions, photography and cute styles.

inspiring patterns, a bit difficult for new knitters.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Knits for Kids: 30 Traditional Aran and Guernsey Designs for 0-6 Years (Hardcover)
My husband and I started knitting while expecting our first child. Ms. Bliss' books contain photos of beautiful sweaters, caps and dresses which are very inspiring. The most classically fashionable that I've ever seen, and surprisingly not impossible to make. We also own her "Kids Country Knits" which is great. My husband's first ever knitting project was a large stuffed sheep, and his second a beautiful sailor collar style sweater with a family of ducks knitted into the design. Both turned out great!!! These patterns are in the "Kids Country Knits". I made a cute hat and sweater set from the "Classic Knits for Kids". I recommend her books as the instructions are understandable, versatile and the small child sizes take a short time to make.
