CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Baby patterns you actually want to use! -
I love knitting for babies. They are quick, pretty and appreciated. This book takes it a step further. This patterns are interesting, easy to adapt and functional. The layette sets make sense - blanket+jacket+mittens+bunny, cardigan+hat+blanket, pillow+slippers+sweater, blanket+cardigan+hat+booties+rattle. And the extras are adorables - I immediately made 4 mice and 3 dummy clips for a newborn. This book is fabulous.

What you need to know:
- patterns may include crochet and embroidery.
- range from beginner to high intermediate.
- there is quite a bit of how-to for beginners.
- the book is from US with US needle sizes, gauge and measurements (no metrics given).
- some patterns are quite fiddly - meaning there is a lot of sewing of little things in some patterns.
- needle sizes range from US size 3 to US size 8. (So there are some fine knits and some chunky knits).

Would I buy this book again? Absolutely.

The knitter will enjoy the toys as much as the kids -
From basic, elegant designs (cardigans made from squares) to truly drool-worthy cute patterns (the cupcake and tea set) this book covers adorable knit projects that take up very little time. I've already made two toys from the book and am looking forward to knitting the rest. The patterns are very well written so that you can clearly see where you're going (definitely helpful for a beginner - and a lot of patterns use garter stitch).

Basic and adorable -
Some wonderful patterns to embellish inside this book - basic hats, but fun to knit!

Adorable and Easy -
I received this book as a Christmas gift. I am an occasional knitter so after a long lapse, I need a refresher on knitting. After my obstetrician put me on bedrest, I cracked open this book and started reading. My first project was the Frenchie hat. The instructions were easy enough for me to follow and not too time consuming. The yarns recommended are beautiful, but expensive (it's a good thing that babies aren't too big!). The author does a good job on explaining how to knit. She also has a blog which has video for some of the more difficult techniques http://susanbanderson.blogspot.com [...] I am looking forward to receiving Itty Bitty Hats!

OMG! -
I was leery to purchase this book online as I could not peruse the patterns. I came across it at a local book store and immediately fell in love! I left the bookstore and went to the yarn store to get started! SO MANY great patterns. Sure to please anyone having a baby or making gifts for friends!
