Summary: *The* baby knits book to have
Comment: Debbie Bliss is the queen of baby knits and this book is her latest and best. The book is separated into 3 chapters: "Simple", "Cozy", and "Special" with projects including a raglan sweater, a fair isle yoked sweater, several unique booties, leggings, jackets, hats, etc. The detailing is fun and very up-to-date. You're sure to find several patterns you *have* to make, ranging in time required from a couple hours to a couple weeks where complexity varies. Though sizes included are from 0 - 3 years, most of the patterns are seem to be written at sizes for the 6 to 24 month old. The photography is beautiful and so are the children - it is a great coffee table book for a knitter as well!

Summary: Great for beginning knitters
Comment: This is the first book of patterns I ever bought. I disagree with the other reviewer that these are not beginner patterns - they get progressively harder as you go through the book, yes, but compared to almost any other book they are incredibly simple! I have since bought many more books and pamphlets and this is still my favorite. I'm slowly making all of the patterns as I find an excuse (my baby is growing too fast!!). One of my favorite things about it is that it gives detailed instructions on how to do each of the techniques required for a pattern. Each piece highlights a specific technique and I have gotten to be a MUCH better knitter because of it. Granted, the yarn they want you to use is very expensive, but I've had good luck using other, less expensive yarns with the same gauge or using yarns with other gauges (I know, very bad) when it isn't meant to be an heirloom or doesn't really matter what the size is exactly - I figure, baby clothes sizing is so random (my 1 year old wears everything from 0-3 months to 24 months depending on the item and brand) that, especially if it is a gift for a newborn, it doesn't matter much if it is a little snug or a little larger than it is supposed to be for the size - at some point it will fit. This allows me to make a piece with $5 or $6 dollars worth of yarn instead of $50 or $60. In return, this makes the book much cheaper as you make more and more of the items. I LOVE this book!!

Summary: Cute, quick gifts
Comment: The patterns are adorable, fairly easy and quick to knit. I've found this book quite handy as many of my friends are expecting first, second and third babies!
