by Claire Montgomerie (Author)
This book features stylish but practical knits for babies, aimed at complete beginners and experienced knitters, and created by expert knitter and textile designer Claire Montgomerie. Getting Started gives you the basics. Step-by-step illustrations show casting on and off, knit and purl stitches and how to get the right tension. Essential techniques such as increasing and decreasing are clearly explained, and there are tips for fixing mistakes. Baby Clothes range from a simple Baby Scarf or Cotton Bootees (perfect for a new baby) to a smart Double-breasted Knit Coat, colourful Dungarees and a pretty Wrap Top. Each pattern introduces new techniques, so you learn as you knit. Toys and Accessories includes projects for the nursery, from a Bird Mobile and a Rabbit Soft Toy, to a Christening Blanket.
