Customer Reviews

Great looking kid's knits for all skill levels

I am an advanced beginner/intermediate knitter. I was really surprised with how easy some of the sweaters were to make and how cute they came out. I made one sweater for my 4 yr. old that so impressed my husband that he asked me when I was going to make him one. The instructions are really clear and the photos are great.

Definitely get it

This book, like her first book, MinnowKnits, is just adorable. It's a great book to look through the only problem is which pattern to knit first. No worries they are all fairly quick to knit so you can knit a few in no time. The directions are clear, the designs are sooo cute and the children are too adorable for words. Definitely a must have. Happy knitting.

Charming, wearable knits

I've looked far and wide for good knits for kids and this book has them. The patterns are charming and wearable. The instructions are clear. The knitting itself is fun, without being overly complicated. I recommend this book highly.

One of the best for creative kids' clothing

Both the Minnowknits and Minnowknits, Too books provide knitters with wonderful, creative patterns which can deck any kid out in style. Patterns are clearly written, and include a number of simple finishing steps that add a professional look to any garment. Friends and I have made rompers, dresses, sweaters and hats, and have been quite pleased with our efforts. A must for any knitter, especially Aunts and Grandma's!

Terrific patterns!

I love small projects that I can work on during my bus commute, so I'm predisposed to like any book of child-sized patterns. I have to say, though, that the patterns in this book are unusually adorable and the one I'm working on ("Button, Button" -- a double-breasted cotton chenille jacket accented with great buttons) is simple, simple, simple, but very neat and stylish-looking. My neighbor's baby is going to be smashing in it. (I may have to procreate myself, if only to have someone to model my work!)
