Library Journal

This pattern collection includes a greater variety of more challenging projects than Erica Knight's Simple Knits for Cherished Babies (reviewed above), including a marvelous family of knitted rabbits and a quilt-inspired patchwork baby blanket. The author designs for Rowan, so patterns call for either Rowan or Jaeger yarns. Knitters and nonknitters will find this a beautiful book just to look through. High-quality photography, beautiful baby models, and line drawings add to the enjoyment of window shopping for the next project. For large public libraries and small libraries where demand warrants.
