Beautifully rendered, heartbreakingly adorable, and wonderfully wacky knitted caps for newborns and toddlers
Thirty-eight million Americans knit, and that number grows every day. The baby hat is the perfect project for knitters of any level, with enchanting patterns that are easy enough for rank beginners but also interesting enough for the most accomplished needle wielders, in yarns that range from silk and linen to cashmere and mohair.
Susan Anderson’s Itty-Bitty Hats presents thirty-eight irresistible designs for infants and toddlers—fun, hip, creative patterns with decorative flourishes that are witty, whimsical, and undeniably unique. The projects are arranged by order of difficulty and accompanied by beautiful photographs, instructive how-to illustrations, and utterly clear instructions (with no confusing abbreviations or insider shorthand). Anderson also provides an indispensable introductory section on stitches, materials, equipment, terminology, and techniques, allowing even the most inexperienced knitter to get started confidently.
Made for boys and girls, by parents and grandparents, aunts and even uncles, and, of course, best friends, the handmade hat is the perfect shower or birth or birthday gift—and Itty-Bitty Hats is the perfect gift for any knitter.
Susan B. Anderson is the author of Itty-Bitty Hats and Itty-Bitty Nursery. Her knitting blog, susanbanderson.blogspot.com, gets more than 50,000 hits a month.

July 31, 2008: Very nice book with cute items to choose from BUT... the pages in my copy are out of order! It has pages 1-32, then 49-64, then 33-48, then 65-end. No wonder the Bunny Tail hat pattern wasn't making sense to me! Oh well, I bought it online and it's not worth returning for exchange as long as I've got it figured out what goes with what. Maybe I'll just take the spiral out and rearrange them.
