Summary: confusing instructions
Review: I've only tried one of the patterns in this book, but I agree with other reviewers who said that the instructions are very confusing. I am experienced enough that I was able to look at the pictures and figure the pattern out, but someone who isn't comfortable adapting patterns might be very frustrated.
On the other hand, the book is beautiful and I will try other patterns, keeping in mind that I might need to make adjustments.

Summary: The perfect baby book for knitters!
Review: It was the beautiful photos in this book that originally caught my eye. This book is just beautiful. It's like eye candy for the knitter! However, the book is filled with classic, easy-to-knit heirlooms for that little one in your life. Any mom would love to receive a handmade gift using one of these patterns. I thought the directions were easy to follow and you can easily substitute the yarn used in the patterns. I love Erika Knight's simple yet beautiful designs and can't wait to see her next knitting book someday.

Summary: I Can't stop using this book
Review: Sumptuous photography, and wonderful easy projects. If you don't know of a baby to knit for you'll find one!! I can't stop doing all of the projects - and I'm only a beginner. This is one of the best baby knit books out there - and I've looked through lots!

Summary: Best garments, not so great otherwise
Review: The pictures almost make you euphoric. But there aren't enough pics of the garments, the sizes and specs are listed seperately, and they are all done on US2 or US3 neeldes except for maybe two projects. If you have the time and patience, these are beautiful, traditional, classic designs. Do-able by almost anyone, but true beginners may need a mentor or knitting group.

Summary: Excellent
Review: There is a pattern in this book for a cashmere sweater and leggings. I'll never make a cashmere anything for a baby, no matter how cherished, but I do like this book tremendously anyway. The pictures are gorgeous, the patterns are simple and elegant and well-written. And the alphabet charts in the back are almost worth the price of the book - I use them all the time for other projects.This and Melanie Falick's "Knitting for Babies" and the new Debbie Bliss baby book are my three favorites for gifts and for my own baby.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This book has it all, for the inexperienced and the experienced knitter. The styles are simple yet elegant. Great for knitting for little ones who grow so fast. Need a baby gift? This is the book to use. I have made several items from this book thus far and have enjoyed every one of them. The instructions are very clear for knitters who are otherwise challenged by other knitting patterns.

Summary: Wonderful projects, but instructions can be confusing
Review: This book has wonderful patterns to knit for babies under the age of 1 year. Unfortunately, the only drawback to the book is the format. The pattern sizes are listed in the back of the book rather than with the pattern. It also does not list the overall dimensions of each pattern. I had to "guess-timate" size on one pattern due to using different weight yarn and needles. Finished size dimensions would have been helpful. Other than that one complaint, it's a fantastic book.

Summary: Stunning!!!
Review: This book is absolutely gorgeous! I love knitting baby things, therefore, when I saw the cover of this book, I literally squealed with delight. ALL of the projects look as if I can whip them out rather quickly and I look forward to getting started. My one and only concern, though, is that it looks as if the yarns used require more laundering care than most new moms have the energy to deal with unless it is going to be put away when the baby wears it once, hopefully without a mishap. I realize that the yarns are soft and gorgeous, but I've been told on many occasions that new moms need things that they can throw into a washer and dryer, therefore, I've made it a rule over the last 25 years not spend exorbitant amounts of money on yarns for baby knits. Those of us who have been knitting for a long time know how to work around this relatively minor issue and new knitters will eventually learn, therefore, I say, "Knock yourselves out!"

Summary: Beautiful Book
Review: This book is full of classic, traditional baby knits. I love the soft colors and old-fashioned designs. I agree with the reviewer who said she would never knit in cashmere for a baby (I don't even do that for myself!), but I was able to substitute less expensive and washable yarn. Some people have commented that the patterns were confusing; I didn't have difficulty but I am an experianced knitter. If you are a beginner, I would have a book with the basics on hand as a reference.
