Combining style with practicality, the 18 projects in this book are made using baby-friendly, machine washable yarns spun from natural fibers to ensure comfort and softness for a baby's delicate skin. From jumpers and cosy cardigans to head-hugging hats, beautiful blankets and lovable toys, there is something here for every baby up to 12 months - and for every knitter. Tiny knits take shape very quickly, which is good news for beginners and experienced knitters alike. And in a world where so many baby clothes are mass-produced, the gift of a hand-knit is pretty special.
