Fantastic for new babies
Rating:
The photos in this Debbie Bliss book are lovely and an inspiration to knit. I have a new granddaughter and borrowed the book from our local library. But, having knitted a cardigan for the little one, I bought the book for my daughter in law who has yet to take up knitting. We'll see. I also made her a needle roll out of cotton to hold a selection of needles which she should find handy, plus some wool for the pattern she selected. I will watch this space to see how quickly she takes up the challenge. I can make needle rolls for anyone who would like one! Quite cheap and very best British quality!
Love her yarn, hate her patterns

I absolutely love Debbie Bliss' yarns. I would love to dive into a vat of cashmerino and go for a swim.
The first thing that bugged me about Baby Knits is that the cover shows a baby in a scarf. Only someone with a death wish for their infant would tie a scarf around their baby's neck.
The second thing that bugged me about Baby Knits is that every pattern knits up too dang big. I knitted the boatneck baby sweater with Debbie Bliss yarn (yes, I checked the gauge) and it was HUGE. I went on to knit the little cap, faithfully checking the gauge. When I was finished, the cap fit ME. When I complained to other knitters, they nodded sagely and said, "Bliss' patterns always run large."
So, beware. This book contains cute-cute-cute baby patterns sized for adults
Ok, but....

There are some cute ideas in this book, but I have yet to make anything. Bliss' yarn is so overpriced. While I realize you do not have to use her yarn, it makes all the patterns way over the top- If I had taken a second look before buying, I would have left it on the shelf.
Very successful Gift!

I bought this for my sister who loves to knit. The pictures are darling and she says that the paterns are relatively easy, but the finished products look very complicated and special. I reccomend this book for people who are looking for gifts for knitters! She loved it.
Great learning tool
Rating:
This book allows you to progress step by step from beginner to fairly expert, garment by garment. The explanations and pictures are very helpful. The patterns and gauges are given for Debbie Bliss's own line of cotton yarn - I used another brand of washable baby wool yarn and it came out beautifully. The baby models in this book are adorable.
