Grear baby knits...
I have made two of the patterns in this book and they where fast, easy, and totally adorable. If you like the idea of quick and wonderful gifts for babies, this is the book to get.

Beautiful book!
This book is full of gorgeous baby clothes and items with easy to follow patterns. I have purchased several of the author's knit products from her studio in New Zealand for my daughter and it will be fun to be able to create some of my own.

Thank you!
Finally a book that puts together my two passions - knitting and vintage baby patterns in post-1950s language! These patterns are easy to follow and actually end up looking like the photos! Thank you!
