Baby Knits: 20 Handknit Designs for Babies 0--24 Months

Everyone just loves to knit for new babies, both their own and those of their family and friends. What nicer present for a baby shower, too, than a hand-knitted gift.

 

Lois Daykin's collection of garments and knitted accessories offers 20 great designs for tiny baby boys and girls up to toddler age. You can take your pick from a whole range of knits, including delectable yet practical all-in-ones and cute little bootees, tasselled hats and sweet lacy cardigans for girls and tough little jackets for boys, along with a blanket and cushions to decorate the nursery and pretty little boxes and bags in which to present your knitted gifts.

 

In a sugar-almond color palette in Rowan's exquisitely soft yarns, including the very popular machine-washable Cashsoft, these little knits are as practical as they are pretty. Some are very simple, making ideal projects for new knitters, too.
