Product Description
From Booklist
What's not to like about Mellor's third knitting collection? There's color, simplicity, speed, and, best of all, choices for babies to three-year-olds. The title means that each of the 20 patterns includes a twin--in a different color, style, or motif. Everything's presented in a straightforward manner; color pictures are followed by intricately detailed pattern directions. A crib blanket, for instance, is available in either pink hearts or blue stars, while daisies decorate either a cardigan or a sweater. Enjoyable hours of knitting and purling for any brand of experience. Barbara Jacobs

Fun, fashionable knits for kids,
By Susan (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Double Knits: Pairs of Patterns for Babies and Toddlers (Hardcover)
I am an intermediate knitter and I thought this was a great book. My friends are all having their first babies, and I love to knit - what better excuse for me to knit up something small and fun? I tried one of the Inca hats in the book using my own leftover yarns. It turned out great. The only caveat to this one pattern was that it didn't specify which way to have the ear flaps facing when picking up the stitches for beginning the rest of the hat - and of course, mine faced the wrong way. But I worked with it and it turned out very cute.All in all a good book, great pictures, clear (almost!) instructions and the designs are actually attractive and modern - something that can be hard to find in the myriad of knitting books out there. If the kids you know are dressed in Gap clothing, then these knits will fit right in.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!,

This review is from: Double Knits: Pairs of Patterns for Babies and Toddlers (Hardcover)
I love this book. I am an avid knitter and I love knitting sweaters for my 15 month old daughter. The colors, styles and patterns in this book are fantastic. My daughter loves to look at this book as well and point to all the cute babies and toddlers. Highly recommended for knitters who love to knit kid sweaters.

Double Knits,
By A Customer
This review is from: Double Knits: Pairs of Patterns for Babies and Toddlers (Hardcover)
I have been collecting patterns for children's sweaters for over thirty years, and I keep telling myself that I have enough. Then, a book as appealing as Double Knits comes along...and, of course, I have to have it.The patterns of these baby and toddler fashions are colorful and stylish...but appear to be do-able for the average knitter with some experience in colorwork knitting. I haven't tried any of the patterns yet, but have read through my favorites and have found no obvious problems with the patterns. I can't wait for the next opportunity to produce a gift of one of these sweaters or blankets. As an avid knitter, I closely peruse each new knitting book and magazine...looking for the best features of each fashion and for ways to make it more to my liking. With this book, though, it took me three times through the pictures before I even noticed the sweaters. The models (infant and toddler twins) steal this show. What better way, though, to envision what one of these designs will look like on the perfect child in your life?
