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.
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!

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!
Huge number of adorable patterns
I bought this book after seeing all the samples on the author's book tour. The garments are even
more adorable
in person
than
in the book's lovely photographs. There are a lot of
patterns
in this book, with many different kinds of garments, making it a very good value for the money. Texture patterns, colorwork, cables, lace patterns, and garments with interesting construction make for a varied knitting experience. The use of lighter weight yarns makes great use of all the unique sock yarns out there. The author is very knowledgeable about
vintage knitting
and clothing styles, and provides interesting overviews of the styles and trends that influence her work. All in all, a very beautiful, useful, and satisfying 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.
