Amazon.com Review:
There are a lot of advantages inherent to knitting for children. The items are small and work up quickly; the sizing needn't be perfect (few toddlers are into the tailored look); and the kids just look so darned cute when you're done. Minnowknits doubles those advantages--the instructions are blessedly clear, the gauge is never too small, and the items will undoubtedly be passed from child to child because they're absolutely adorable, if a bit offbeat. Jil Eaton's timeless styles are hip and vibrant. It's a lucky baby whose favorite knitter gets this book.
Product Description:
“These are the neatest, niftiest, most super deluxe delicious kids’ clothes.”—Knitter’s Magazine. Electrifying colors and contemporary designs will motivate you to knit any or all of these 24 designs. With complete patterns and instructions for children three months old to age ten, there are boldly colored sweaters, jackets, party dresses, rompers, and even a skating outfit.

- Get it at the libraryYes, bright colors and poofy pants, great. But only a couple of the designs were really cute enough to do. The rest were sorta plain looking just made over the top by color choices and embellishments. The cover outfit is really the climax of the book. Save the $ and check this one out at the library and spend your $ on the second book, Minnow Knits Too!

- Too cute.The patterns in this book are too cute. I have made one, the Aran Ruffles Sweater. It is now being worn by my second daughter. The photo's and directions are great. I am in the middle of the Coco Chenille Sweater and pant outfit. Am very interested in making many more of the patterns, just trying to pick one is so hard they are all so cute, Polka Dots maybe(a very colorful colorblock kind of style with white polka dots and nice bright colors),for my 7 year old.

- Minnow Knits: Unommon Clothes to knit for kidsBeing a working mother of 2 (13 & 2) it isn't always easy to find a book that covers such a broad age range. I have yet to be diappointed wiht Jill Eaton's offerings. Allowing for the fact that not all of us are at a expert level and yet we want to experiment with color changes and texture, she manages to entice and provide clear instructions, ineresting projects but most of all patterns that are interesting. Also I found that some of the simpler patterns were great places to start someone who wants ... Read More

- Minnowknits: Uncommon Clothes to Knit for KidsWell, how many kids wear poofy jumpers these days that justify the cost of this book. Was a bit disappointed in some of the designs, but overall not really that undoable.

- Great designs - lousy editor.The patterns in this book are incredibly well designed, but you have to be an expert knitter to fill in some of the gaps in the instructions. Ms. Eaton would be well served to work with an editor that is also a knitter. "Ski, Baby" is one of the cutest outfits and worst written patterns I have ever encountered! I hope in the future, the instructions will be more complete!
SINCE WRITING THIS REVIEW, I HAVE CONTACTED THE AUTHOR AND THE PROBLEMS WITH "SKI, BABY" WILL BE CORRECTED IN THE NEXT ... Read More
