THE BEST!!!
I love this book. The designs are fresh yet classic. As a knitter with over 40 years of knitting experience, I found this book to be quite possibly my all-time favorite for babies. The
patterns hold
my interest - they have enough complexity that I don't get bored. They're challenging, but not to the point of causing me to break out in a knitting fever. It's a book I'll use again and again, which is
more
than
I can say for most knitting books.
Fantastic patterns!
I love this book. I'd consider myself an intermediate knitter. I find the instructions easy to follow and the selection of
patterns charming
. Nicely laid out book. I've completed the Stella Pixie hat, which was very fun to knit. I'm working through the Bobby Kimono now. I have about three
more
items
from this
book I plan on making. I can see the Stella Pixie hat becoming a staple
baby gift
! Love it!

Fun and easy baby knits!
I found this book very charming-- instructions are simple to follow. Photographs are true to finished projects. I have made three swaeters and the toddler dress so far, I will probably knit every pattern in the book (except the soakers-- other reviews have that one right). The
patterns will
be simple for a knitter with experience, I would not recommend this for your first foray into
baby knitting
. Overall great book!

While working as a
vintage clothing
dealer, combing through estate sales and eBay listings, longtime knitter Kristen Rengren amassed hundreds of knitting pattern booklets
from 192
0 through 1960. Now a knitwear designer, Rengren brings us the result of her combined passions in Vintage
Baby
Knits
, a charming collection of
more
than
40 contemporary updates of timeless baby
patterns
. Projects range from small, quick-to-knit items like hats, booties, and shrugs to larger, more challenging designs for sweaters, onesies, and dresses, including a lace christening gown. Beautiful photographs capture a bevy of adorable babies and toddlers wearing these knitted treasures. Also included are sidebars on baby fashion and knitting culture in this bygone era, and a complete reference section. Destined to be a classic itself, Vintage Baby Knits promises family
heirloom
s for 21st-century babies.
