How do you choose which divine little sweater to make from this groovy book. Many hand knit books of this type are still a little outdated and traditional but Animal Knits brings hand knitting for children into the 21st Century. From the super 'Bunny' and 'Duck' Cardies to the sensational 'Fish' hat, Animal Knits gives clear and simple instructions of how to make special, yet still fashionable, brightly coloured garments for babies and children up to six years old. My favourite has to be the 'Ladybird' hat (actually shaped like a labybird!). Equally lovely patterns can be found for boys and girls and the age range covered makes it better value than some.
Many of the designs are for the slightly more experienced knitters however, as the 'Intarsia' technique is often used - if you don't think you can cope with colour work - there's always that relative that offered....!
