Grammy's Favorite Knits for Baby
Grammy s Favorite Knits for Babyis written by Doreen L Marquart and published by Martingale & Company. What fun it is to knit for babies. The projects knit up quickly, not much yarn is required and what we use is soft and cuddly. The book is comprised of Doreen's favorite designs.There are 20 projects from newborn to 24 months, ranging from easy to intermediate. The designs are classic but what makes them new is the use of color striping yarns and color combinations. But what is not classic is the Cupcake cutie hat.The Cupcake hat would make for an adorable first birthday gift. It is a chocolate cupcake with strawberry icing and a cherry on top. An adventurous Mom or Grandma could make a few of these as party hats and to be used as a goody-bag present for the little guests.The projects range from sweaters, hats and booties, mittens, little girls' jumpers and more. Shoulder Button Pullover and Comfy Hoody are knit in the round. Knitting in the round for this age is almost finished before you start. The Comfy Hoody has a front pocket to keep all that stuff toddlers find so exciting.There are a variety of earflap hats to choose from. The Tricolor Ensemble has a welted hat that is beautiful. Once the hat is made you won t be able to stop until the booties, mittens and sweater are complete.Doreen gives tips and tricks given along the way. The knitting basic section also includes line drawings. Have fun knitting these projects for that special little someone. --Review from Paula Moliver, Hartford Knitting Examiner
