What excellent knits! They're all double knit so they grow really quickly. The instructions are really easy to follow and the patterns range from very easy to quite a challenge. This means you can expand your range from basic stocking stitch with some increase and decrease to fairisle.
I have already completed 3 hats (you can just about get two out of the wool recommended) and have had a request for the 4th (and it'll only take an evening to make). The breton jumper looks great on my little boy! And my little girl would like something a bit more complicated; the jumper with the children motif. My kids are twins, so are the children modelling the knitwear, very cute!
You really should give this book a go if you're thinking of starting a project or if you're looking for a first knit for an older child (there's an excellent, simple, teddy).
