Product Description
Product Description
*22 unique and baby-specific designs * Suitable for all levels of skill from beginners upward * Fully illustrated with 40 colour photographs The birth of a baby is a celebration, and Special Knits is based on our need to create lovingly-made items for new little people, in soft yarns that are gentle against delicate skin. Some of the designs in this book are simple to make - their special quality lies in the softness of the fabric, usually a cashmere mix. There are other projects where the uniqueness of the design comes from a scattering of beads, a velvet bow, or an organza ribbon. Most of the designs require little knowledge of complicated techniques; a simple garter-stitch blanket is perfect for a beginner and is given a touch of luxury with an edging of satin, while for those knitters who prefer more of a challenge, there is a sampler blanket or a cross-stitch embroidered gingham cardigan. In an age of the throwaway, these are garments that will become modern classics, knits to cherish and hand down through generations.

Format:Paperback
. . . beware. A beautiful looking, expensive book and the items are lovely but you need the correct yarns and tensions, as well as other dressmaking and craft skills. Without layout drawings showing measurements it is difficult to know, when using alternative yarns, if and how you need to adjust the pattern. Also I found an important section of instructions missing on page 116 and had to trawl the net to find an appropriate email address to get the correction. The correction arrived from two different sources, one more comprehensive than the other. Knitters beware.

Here are classic Debbie Bliss designs but this time she adds little extra's; some ribbon, beads and more. Nice uncluttered designs in pretty colours.

The book has quite a few really nice patterns. Different from the run of the mill style.
I would say not for the novice knitter, but stitches and details are well explained.
