Product Description
Product Description
Simple Knit for Cherished Babies' is the best-selling baby knits title in the world and is now available in a new smaller format! Her designs, in pure yarns such as merino wool, silk and cashmere, are not only marvellously soft and gentle for a new baby"s delicate skin they are absolutely modern in feel, while retaining as their core inspiration the best of baby's classic knits -- bootees, bonnets, cot blankets and cardigans -- but with a modern edge. This new format is set to appeal to the current market. The stitches she uses are quick and simple to knit, but highly textural in feel. Even a complete novice can master most of the patterns in the book, and the simplest will take only an evening or at most a weekend to knit. In a carefully chosen colour range of art-shade pastels and neutrals that have a long-lasting appeal, these knits are the heirlooms of the future. Any parent will want to knit them, own them and keep them for future siblings or as mementoes for the future. Previous ISBN: 9781855859265 Other titles in the series include 'Simple Knits for Little Cherubs' (ISBN 9781843400189), also being reissued in this new and exciting format.

I just love this book. I am an experienced knitter but somehow I seem to be ending up knitting from this book ever since I bought it. The designs are simple but so wonderfully basic, tasteful and elegant.
The instructions are very easy to follow - even if you're a beginner. There are few abbreviations and there are always instructions for everything (you never have to guess what to do or how to do it).
I have knitted most of the designs in this book and have not found any errors yet.

An excellent collection- especially as all the patterns are suitable for newborns, unlike most knitting books on the market. Brilliant to knit for yourself, or as gifts.

Amazing book! It is so beautiful that I bought this book before I even knew how to knit. Similar to Debbie Bliss, but with added elegance...a bit more graceful. These patterns aren't so much for everyday wear, more for gifts and special occasions. Think Monsoon. The patterns use Rowan and Jaeger yarns and are beautifully simple. There's no Fair Isle or intarsia, no motifs, no stripes. Some of the jumpers require very little sewing and are knit in one piece. There's even a pattern for a jumper with matching leggings. Most of the patterns can be knit for a boy or a girl. Gorgeously laid out, photographs to make you sigh, lots of helpful information, but if you've never picked up a pair of knitting needles, you won't be able to rely on this one to teach you to knit. While it has a technique glossary, there is no 'how to' section for the basics. It includes 18 patterns, but be warned: while the sizes begin at 0-3 months, the largest size is 6-9 months, but could be resized for those who are good in maths or design. This book is a bit of luxury...it's knitting-book heaven just to look through it (you knitters know what I'm talking about)

Not so simple
This is a beautifully produced book that's gorgeous to look at. However, the author's idea of simple and mine differ greatly. Read more

Too Expensive
Compared with other baby knit books I have bought I decided this one was far to expensive for the amount of patterns in it and have therefore removed it from my wish list!!

Nice book, not so modern
Was hoping this book may be a little more modern. The patterns are a little old fashioned. No guide to beginning knitting which is a shame but some gorgeous knits I can't wait to... Read more

baby knits
I was recommended the auther by a friend but I must admit the Debbie Bliss patterns are nicer. Mum did use some of the knits and they have turned out well.

What a lovely book
If there were an opportunity to give half points, I'd probably give this four and a half instead of five, because there are some patterns which seem a bit old-fashioned, and quite... Read more

Disappointing
The instructions are sometimes confusing and even incorrect. I assume this was translated from French - it should have been proofread by an English-speaking knitter. Read more
