Discover classic designs for booties and a bonnet to give to newborns or fresh, modern items like the textured tunic sweater using knit and purl stitches and the pretty skirt with detachable straps and ribbed waistband. Make practical items that are certain to be a hit, such as the blanket with ribbed border to wrap up a baby or the drawstring bag to store toys, or knit gifts for others, such as a teddy bear or bunting with bells on the tips that will jingle above a baby's bed. The projects are designed to be accessible to all as Susie Johns, an author of over 30 books, uses her experience to create patterns that can be knitted by beginners as well as more competent crafters. A variety of techniques which give delicate detailing and eye-catching features to the knits are clearly explained in a handy section at the back of the book.
