Product Description
Product Description
Miss Bea is only three three years old, but she has her own gorgeous sweaters, all with their own patterns. Miss Bea is a series of books that takes a completely novel approach to knitting for children, providing a storyline to accompany the patterns, so that a toddler can enjoy the pictures and story while mother knits. In these two new books, the ten loveable yet classic designs are for both boys and girls. Step-by-step instructions offer guidance to newcomers to knitting and patterns are both written out and fully charted in colour.

Miss Bea's Seaside
23 Jun 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book because I had the denim yarn and it requires special patterns. Too much of the book is taken up with nonsense. The patterns stretch out over a couple of pps making it hard to keep one's place, and the methods of construction are, to me, silly. Why not make the long dress on round needles for example? I do not think the patterns particularly attractive. Still the denim yarn is practical for small kids and if you want to use it for children, this is the book.
Charming book
5 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the second book of this series I have purchased, because I loved the first one so much. Be aware that the patterns call for only Denim Yarn, a type of cotton yarn that shrinks 20% after washing, so that you would need to adjust the patterns in length if you use another yarn. However, the yarn is much loved by most users for its unique look. Louisa Harding is a very popular knit designer, specializing in cables and textured patterns. All the patterns in this book, for toddlers 1-4, are charted, but not at all difficult to follow. The most popular book in the series is Miss Bea's Rainy Day. The large full sized pictures are wonderful.

Story AND 10 knitting patterns from Rowan
26 April 2008
Format:Paperback
Miss Bea and her friends visit the seaside to play in the sand and waves in the sixth book in the delightful Miss Bea series. The simple storyline, large photos and colorful illustrations will engage children aged 1-4 in exploring the beach or enjoying an ice-cream along with Miss Bea.
Adults will enjoy knitting the 10 projects worn by the children in the story. Each of these garments is designed for Rowan Denim yarn and most are unisex. The designs come in three sizes for 1-to-4-year olds, include charts and written instructions, and learn-to-knit instructions are included at the beginning of the pattern section. The written instructions are color-coded to correspond to specific size information (instructions for size 1-2 years are green, 2-3 years are red, and 3-4 years are blue).
The simple garments include three cardigans, five pullovers, one vest and one sundress. One pullover includes a basic cable, one cardigan has some lace and several garments have stripes or other color-work, making these great patterns for the beginning knitter looking for timeless designs that will wear well for active toddlers. The denim cotton yarn will ages and soften like a pair of favorite blue jeans. Any worsted-weight cotton yarn can be substituted for the recommended yarn, useful for those who may wish to knit in colors other than indigo blue or cream.
