As knitters, we almost always know someone who's expecting and therefore, always have baby knits on the needles, right? Well, it's time to forget all that you know about those baby knits... it's not only about hats, booties and blankies anymore! Leave those ho-hum nursery items on the registry at Babies R Us to the uncreative and think - or rather, knit - outside of the box! With over 20 patterns in Knitted Nursery: Toys, Clothes and Furnishings for a Beautiful Baby's Room, you'll have something new to cast on for every baby this year! Published by our friends across the ocean in the UK, Knitted Nursery is not your typical baby pattern book. You won't find any pastel pink or baby blue amongst the pages. Instead, it's all about bright, bold color. The photography throughout is beautiful and really shows off the strong, contemporary style. Again, this is not your typical baby pattern book... and I love that! The patterns are fresh and exciting - for both young eyes and old. Knitted Nursery is suited for beginners, yet there are plenty of adorable toys and other fun patterns to keep advanced knitters interested as well. Beginning with the simplest of patterns and progressing from there, Knitted Nursery allows beginners to learn as they knit and build their skills in a chronological order. The first two patterns, a Snuggle Blanket and Snuggle Cushion Cover are made up of individual squares that are sewn together in the end. Although I personally don't love sewing seams, these are great projects for beginners who want to see instant gratification with quickly finished squares. From there the book takes you through decreases, increases and simple stripes. Although there are some clothing items in Knitted Nursery, the best patterns truly are the knit toys. Some of my favorites from the book: Lazy Day Armchair ~ as seen on the cover, it would be a fabulous addition in any toddler's room Washing Line Wall Hanger ~ a group of adorable little knit tees that act as storage and look cute strung across a changing table or bookcase Draughty Dog ~ this knit "hot dog" (dachshund) is designed to be a door draft dodger, but triples as a cushion and cuddle toy Pompom Pixie Hat ~ think Dr. Seuss and Whoville.... adorable! Cosmic Cube ~ an interactive space-themed cube, each side features a different activity for baby to play with Beginners will appreciate the great Getting Started section which includes information & illustrations on casting on & off, basic stitches, shaping, buttonholes, tension, sewing up and troubleshooting. If you have an expecting friend who's expressed an interest in knitting, Knitted Nursery is the book for her! If you find yourself knitting baby hats and booties time after time, perhaps you want to add Knitted Nursery to your own bookshelf... especially if you want to venture into knitted toys. --www.lapdogcreations.com 1st October 2010
Product Description
Knitted Nursery is a complete guide for beginners wanting to create a brightly coloured, unique nursery for their expectant bundle of baby joy. This attractive collection of designs contains strong contemporary colours to provide a stimulating visual environment for babies and helps create a modern, uplifting space to live and play. Strong primaries, fuchsia pinks and outspoken oranges are set together with bright purples striped side-by-side with vibrant greens, yolk yellows and deep reds to create the perfect antidote to the passé pastels of the high street. Patterns include: a snuggle blanket, ABC blocks, cot bunting, beach hut bookends and a washing line wall hanger. All patterns use cotton DK yarn, which is easy to wash, durable and child-friendly and the same sized needles are used throughout, so it couldn't be easier!

This book is really lovely, the patterns are all knit in DK cotton and in bright colours. A lot of them involve work with foam (chairs, cubes, bookends etc) which is very original, although there are jumpers, toys, bunting, wall hangings etc that don't.
The patterns are all very basic, with many being knitted in simple garter or stockinette stitch, increases are only introduced for some of the later patterns. So if you are looking for a book of complicated knits, this isnt it. Very suitable for beginners wanting to create something spectacular. Would recommend for anyone wanting something a little bit different.

So glad i purchased this lovely book. I must admit i bought the book for the long legged bunny pattern, but suprise, suprise found loads of other patterns that i like, and will be very busy. All the colours used are nice and inviting. The instructions are clear and easy to read, with US and UK size needles.
I found being able to look into this book on line very helpful. Now where did i put my needles.....

This is a brilliant book. Really different from all the usual pastel nursery knits, with really fun, funky things for a modern nursery. Love the dog and the armchair especially. Looking forward to making lots of these things.

Some really lovely patterns in here that are easy to follow. You can be creative with them by experimenting with different wool and tension to give different effects.
