The latest in a series of baby and children’s hand-knit books, Debbie Bliss’s ‘Blankets, Bears and Bootees’ is beautifully put together. Pages of full colour photographs lie between gorgorgeous patterns that are guaranteed to capture your eye.

The book opens up with an easy to follow contents section. Each pattern is listed along with a colour photograph of the item, allowing you to glance at all the projects in one go.

The first section of the book is called ‘knitting basics’. This section introduces the yarns, garment care and the techniques needed. Everything is explained clearly with coloured diagrams - making this book ideal for even a beginner.

The patterns themselves are easy to follow. They all include large colour photographs of the finished project, size materials needed and abbreviated instructions (all explained in the introductory section).

The projects include blankets, knitted toys, bootees, other clothing, a memory book, building blocks and more. The clothing projects are designed for babies aged 3-6 months but many can be adapted for up to at least 18 months.

We would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for beautiful, modern and something a little different for their young ones. It will not disappoint.

This book is produced by Quadrille Publishing and is available for only £14.99 RRP.
