Product Description
From Amazon
With beautiful color photographs and well-presented instructions, Great Knits for Kids moves away from cute tyke clothing to stylish tunics, cardigans, jackets, sweaters, and hats. The first half of the book features lovely full-color photos of the knitwear in action (worn by kids at the seashore or in the park). Clear charts and specifications support the easy-to-read directions. Pattern sizes range from infants to 10-year-olds, with most projects giving a wide range of size options.

Inspiring, but watch the sizes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Great Knits for Kids (Paperback)
This book is inspiring, and the sweaters are adorable in the photos-- but why don't they fit the models? Most sweaters are two or three sizes too big for the child wearing them. There's a boy pictured in a sweater that looks like it would fit his father. I'm all for making clothes a bit big to allow for growth, but this is ridiculous. If you want to make one of these sweaters, check the garment measurements carefully to make sure you'll be rewarded for your efforts.

Great sweaters, size variance limited, some ins. unclear,
By GrantGL@msn.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Knits for Kids (Hardcover)
The Debbie Bliss styles are wonderful -- however, some are too bulky - especially those for infants. I would have preferred that the patterns included a range of sizes -- only a few do. I have made five sweaters to gauge -- in each case some of the instructions were unclear and I had to anticipate what the author's intentions were. In one particular case, a matching beret was huge -- I knit one and so did a fellow knitter, following the same instructions and using same needle size as the matching sweater. The hats were too large for me -- this hat was supposed to fit a three-year old! My advise to fellow knitters -- really pay attention! And try your gauge over the cable patterns AND whatever stitch the instructions recommend!

Plenty of Projects!,
By R. Meister - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Knits for Kids: 27 Classic Designs for Infants to Ten-Year-Olds (Paperback)
There are plenty of projects within this book to knit for the kiddos. The only drawback as some people see it is the sizing, but the finished garment measurements are provided for all patterns, so measure your little sweetie, and pick how much ease you want! I plan to knit at least 5 things from this book.
