Cute Patterns- Bad Instructions,
By JanXknits "janXknits" (Kirkland, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kids' Country Knits (Paperback)
I made the pig booties which certainly turned out cute. However, the pattern lacked a tension gauge (which is as fundamental as needle size) and didn't have any diagrams to show the knitter how to piece the body of the bootie together. Her patterns are really adorable and I would buy the book again. But if it ever gets into reprint adjustments should be made.

Debbie Bliss is THE kid's knit designer,
By
This review is from: Kids' Country Knits (Paperback)
A friend of mine has a cute 2 year old and she knit the barnyard duck sweater for him. (This kid was leaning out of his stroller at 3 months of age, waiting to see the ducks on the river that runs through the center of town. He'd go wild when he saw them. Unbelievable. ) The slippers are so cute, you want to wear them too. My only caution is that to get these darling designs, you need to knit intarsia. This is the method where you use a small bobbin or ball of color for the design patches and you do not strand as you do with fair-isle type knitting. That takes some practice. There are some good instruction books available to help you learn this useful and gorgeous technique. Don't let fear of intarsia stop you. These sweaters are small projects because they are kiddie-sized and boy are they EVER cute. Enjoy.

This may be my Debbie Bliss Favorite!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kids' Country Knits (Paperback)
I LOVE this book. As a mother of two small children, a boy and a girl, I am always looking for books that have many cute options for either gender. Not only does this book have that, but I find this collection to be extraordinary. There is a duck all-in-one that is SO cute, barnyard animals to knit and the most adorable cow, pig and hen slippers that you could ever find. I love Debbie Bliss' other books as well, but this one is probably my all time favorite. Many of the knits are done in primary or other vivid colors and involve intarsia knitting. But even if you don't love intarsia there will be cute options for you (fair isle, texture knitting). I am really glad that I decided to splurge on yet another Debbie Bliss book - it has been well worth it!
