The ultimate collection of knitwear designs for 0-3 year olds. This delightful 128 page full-colour book is divided into "Simple", "Cosy" and "Special". The Simple chapter includes easy knits for the beginner and for those, like new mothers, who don't have much time on their hands. Expect basic stitches and classic styles. The Cosy chapter contains generous sweaters to snuggle into, outdoor sporty knits for active children, and a bear in a lamb suit to cuddle up to. In the Special section jackets and shoes are embellished with embroidery and beads, perfect for gifts, and there is an heirloom alphabet blanket to be cherished for years.

All designs have been knitted in Debbie Bliss yarns which have been especially selected not only for their baby-friendly handle but for their easy wash and wear as well. The collection has also been put together to reflect the range of knitting skills, from the basic to the more advanced.

Debbie Bliss exhibits her unique understanding of children in her designs. Most of the designs for young babies are cardigans rather than sweaters as they dislike having garments pulled over their heads, and they can be difficult to dress when they are too small to sit up. She also designs with an awareness of where the fastenings may be uncomfortable for a baby lying on either their back or tummy. For the comfort of older children she allows plenty of ease in the garments, particularly at the underarm and when they are worked in a very textured pattern which produces a denser and less elastic fabric.

Patterns include hats, scarves, tanktops, jackets, leggings, trousers, kimono, sweaters, cardigans, shoes, slippers, hooded blanket, alphabet blanket, throw, teddy bear with sleepsuit, dressing gown, dresses, kaftan, coathanger cover and bag.

This publication contains plenty of gorgeous gift ideas for knits that will be cherished for years. The book itself would also make a wonderful gift for an expectant mother or grandmother.
