Editorial Reviews

This is one of my favorite pattern books to pick up when I find out that a friend is expecting a baby. The patterns are simple but have beautiful details…. Also, the photography is beautiful, and I really like the way they emphasize the texture of the finished knit fabric in each design.” —Alison Backus, Knit Picks director

“[F]rom the first page (and first project) to the last page, you'll be charmed. The photography is so delightful...These designs are sure to become appreciated heirlooms rather than dated hand-me-downs.” —Knit ‘n Style

“I like that the projects are either very useful or at the very least they will make beautiful gifts. Since we won't be having anymore babies I'll be more than happy to make some for my friends' little ones. [T]he styling and photography of this book is beautiful, it makes the whole experience of flipping through its pages even more enjoyable if you know a mom-to-be that knits; the book itself would make a wonderful gift.” —A Little Hut blog
