Blankets, Hats and Booties

This is a wonderful book! I think the booties are adorable! I'm still trying to figure out the tricky granny squares on the cover, but they are the most beautiful, full-looking granny squares I've ever seen. This book is a must if you want to make the cutest booties, blankets and hats. Kristin Spurkland has the most awesome designs!Blankets, Hats, and Booties: To Knit And Crochet

Great baby patterns!

There are some really unique and cute baby patterns in this book, especially the blankets. Each project includes a blanket, hat and booties that coordinate, which is nice. Most patterns are pretty easy, and the instuctions are very easy to follow. The only downside for me, is that about 1/2 the patterns are crochet, and I don't know how to crochet. But the knitting patterns are so cute that I still would buy the book.

Excellent baby patterns!

I have several pattern books for knitting and crocheting baby items and this is now my newest favorite! The baby sock pattern alone is worth buying the book--the socks were easy to make (and I am NOT a sock knitter!) and they actually fit a newborn. I have not made all the items in the book yet but the things I have made were easy and fun. And I love the fact that it has both knitting and crochet patterns--I think more and more people are beginning to do both and it's nice to have a book that offers both.
