Simple Knits for Cherished Babies
Knight's earlier pattern book, Comforts of Home (Martingale,  2000), emphasized knitting soft, comfortable fashion accessories  for the home. In a similar tone, this book emphasizes classic  designs knitted for babies in pastels and naturals using soft  fibers such as bulky cottons, silk, and cashmere. Beginning  knitters can complete most of the designs featured, and,  although specific yarns are recommended, the author includes  information on substituting yarns. Visually, this is a beautiful  book, with full-page color photos of each design and detailed  close-ups. Among the many designs featured are an enchanting  cashmere teddy bear, a lace-edged baby blanket, and classic baby  booties. Warmly recommended for public libraries of all sizes.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
