Product Description
From Library Journal
This pattern collection includes a greater variety of more challenging projects than Erica Knight's Simple Knits for Cherished Babies (reviewed above), including a marvelous family of knitted rabbits and a quilt-inspired patchwork baby blanket. The author designs for Rowan, so patterns call for either Rowan or Jaeger yarns. Knitters and nonknitters will find this a beautiful book just to look through. High-quality photography, beautiful baby models, and line drawings add to the enjoyment of window shopping for the next project. For large public libraries and small libraries where demand warrants.

Good and useful, but not best ever,
By
This review is from: Knits for Babies and Toddlers (Hardcover)
I added this book to my growing collection of baby knitting pattern books.... And while it's a good addition (my favorite patterns so far have been for some cute, and original baby blankets) to my library, I think that any of the baby knitting books by Debbie Bliss or the Knitting for Baby book are all better than this one. This book has some cute patterns (the girls' swing coats, the one-piece striped jumpsuit), but also some that I felt were sort of sloppy and shoddily made (the hat and sweater and booties on the cover of the book, for example). Some of the neck holes on the sweaters are such that they look all stretched out, and not very cozy. The books mentioned above, I think, have better constructed, more elegant sweaters. FYI: this book has many more patterns appropriate to girls than boys. Furthermore, while a couple of the patterns are toddler sized, most are not (many are sized up to only 9mo or so). So, if you're knitting for a girl, and/or building on a pre-exisiting library, you'll probably enjoy this book. I would, however, recommend against this book as your very first.

one of my favorites,
By Lisa Bradford (Roanoke, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knits for Babies and Toddlers (Hardcover)
I have this book and have knitted two sweaters out of it so far. I have plans for more. The patterns are easy to follow and make up. I have had to substitute yarn as Jaegar and Rowan are not available in my area. The substitutions have worked out well. My favorite pattern is a bear sweater with ears... a really neat and easy made idea...

boooring,
This review is from: Knits for Babies and Toddlers (Hardcover)
Well I had the opprotunity to read this book in Finnish, so I am not sure whether the content is 100% the same.Yes I agree that these designs ar cute but for me as an intermediate/advanced knitter these styles were very boring. Mainly these were plain stociknette stich or garter stich patterns. But the worst part was that the author had come up with some ideas and repeated them in many patterns in the book.
