Product Description: Debbie Bliss presents 20 adorable new designs for babies and toddlers—from blankets and booties to cardigans, twin sets, and coats—all using soft, snuggly yarns.
Debbie Bliss is the most stylish and accessible children’s knitwear designer working today. In Simply Baby, she returns with a cuddly collection of clothing and accessories for newborns to two-year-olds. Some designs are simple to make, such as the striped hat and the ribbon-tie booties. As novice knitters gain confidence, they, and more experienced knitters, will enjoy the designs that introduce new elements, like edging or cabling. Each project—from a lace-edged cardigan to a cashmere coat—is knitted in beautiful yarns that are not only gentle against young skin but are also easy to care for. Complete with step-by-step instructions, charts, and charming photos, this is another irresistible collection from the foremost designer of knitwear for babies and children. Debbie Bliss, former designer for Baby Gap, is the best-selling author of more than a dozen books, including Baby Knits for Beginners, The Baby Knits Book, Debbie Bliss Knitting Workbook, How to Knit, and Classic Knits for Kids.
This book has a lot of mistakes! I wish they would check the measurements they recommend for the various ages. They don't make sense: at least in one case, the instructions had two huge mistakes. I wasted A LOT of time due to this. Don't waste your money, and specially don't waste your time.
Great projects I had already seen this book since a friend had it, so I knew I'd like it. The projects are easy enough but not overly simple-looking. They make great gifts. Patterns are clearly written and the book also has instructions for some of the techniques. Very cute babies,too. I was disappointed to find some of the Debbie Bliss yarns they recommend have already been discontinued, but there are lots of great yarns out there to substitute.
simple and modern yet classic patterns This is a wonderful book. Instructions are clear. There are many patterns that are beautiful and simple and modern and wearable and you can adapt them to your own preference of color and yarn. My daughter, since around age 1 has LOVED this book. Makes a great baby picture book.
Well Written Debbie's instructions for these patterns are very detailed and easy to understand. I made the baby shrug in two nights-- following her path to the letter. The sizes run "generous" to a little big, but that is appropriate to a rapidly growing baby. I look forward to using many of these timeless patterns over and over and perhaps add some small embellishments of my own. A wonderful buy.
I absolutely love this book This book is great. I've four months pregnant and after making a bunch of afghans I saw this book in the book store and thought I'd give knitting baby clothes a try even though my knitting experience was pretty much limited to scarves and hats. The instructions are very clear and in the last two weeks I've made two sweaters, the little bear and two pairs of booties. If you have a little bit of knitting experience you should definitely be able to knit the patterns in this book. And they're super cute.
