Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Hip designs and simple patterns are hallmarks of the Yarn Girls’ style—the very things that made their first book, The Yarn Girls’ Guide to Simple Knits, a smash hit with knitters of every stripe. Now Julie Carles and Jordana Jacobs return with a whole new collection of fast-knitting, colorful patterns, this time for the littlest members of the family.

Forget about baby-weight yarn and fussy patterns for sweaters that are quickly outgrown. Created in the Yarn Girls’ signature style, with fabulous yarns and big needles, these projects are perfect for new knitters who want to see their creations shape up quickly. And for experienced knitters, more advanced patterns explore changes in color and texture and allow for plenty of experimentation on a manageable, kid-sized scale. Patterns include a variety of pullovers and cardigans, plus hats, dresses, blankets, and even ponchos, all perfectly suited to babies and toddlers. Best of all, the sweater patterns are great for boys and girls, making this collection versatile enough to use again and again.

Many of the projects take just days to complete, and all are presented with easy-to-follow steps accompanied by beautiful photography. With straightforward, jargon-free instructions, plenty of personal knitting stories, and old-fashioned encouragement, success is a foregone conclusion. Never will kids look more adorable, or more comfortable, than in these smart, easy-to-make knits.

Rating: - Bobbles for little girls
I have started the sweater for little girls and boys which includes bobbles for the girls sweater. The directions for the bobbles were very detailed and were very easy to follow. I am using pink and purple for the girls sweaters and blues and greens for the boys sweaters. I have decided having a couple of cute babies gifts ready for deliver is the way to go.

I have been knitting for almost five years and have become addicted to all the wonderful yarns that are out there. My stash ... Read More

Rating: - So So Book
This is my first knitting book and I was pretty excited to make a sweater for my daughter. Some of the suggested yarns are not practical for children, expensive and not machine washable. I also felt that the instructions could have included a bit more detail, especially for the variations. The patterns in the book are very cute.

Rating: - Great for Beginners, Boring for Intermediates
I had high hopes for such a well-reviewd book, but I was uninspired when reading through this book. The patterns are rather dull. Some of the yarns are so bulky they look downright silly. And the sweaters are all very square-shaped with dull drop-sleeves. I just hoped there would be a bit more variety and challenge.

But I'll give it four starts because for a beginner, I'm sure it's nice to find easy patterns that won't intimidate. And they DO advertise that these are bulkier-knit sweaters. ... Read More
