Summary: The only kids pattern book you'll ever need!
Review: This book is incredible! You won't need to buy another baby or kids pattern ever! Just choose the style, pick the kind of edging you'd like to use, add a motif or two and you've got a one of a kind sweater that you designed yourself! I bought this book two months ago and I've already knit three completely differnt, beautiful baby sweaters. These patterns are also all
for worsted weight yarns so they knit up fast! There are several cute edgings and ribbing styles to choose from and some really neat motifs and stripe patterns!
If you knit for babies and kids you have to buy this book! Even the beginner knitter can design an adorable, unique sweater using these simple instructions and step by step guides!

Summary: The Ultimate--but not for beginners
Review: Wow! I'm never going to buy another knitting pattern book again. This book is exactly what I've been searching for for the past year. It includes a number of types of sweaters (v-neck/cardigan/etc.) for ages from infants on up to school-age kids. In the back is an awesome directory of stitches for borders (lace, ribbing, etc.) and patterns for any kind of motif you could think of (from skull and crossbones to trains to zoo animals). You can mix and match sweater styles with motifs or edges to get a great sweater. Also included are guides for each size showing you where to place motifs if you choose to use them.

There is so much to choose from here, including a few hat and bag patterns, that you won't get bored ever. The possibilities are endless. However, I would not recommend this book to a new knitter. Get a few projects under your belt before working from this book.
