Synopses & Reviews
In Knitting Gifts for Baby, Mel Clark has created a timeless collection of baby knits. Her unique designs are both eye-catching and practical, with patterns for newborns through to toddlers. A wrap for a newborn in deliciously soft organic cotton, a cute fishing vest with lots of pockets, for the toddler who likes to collect "treasure" and an easy cardigan knit from the top down that requires almost no finishing are just a few of the patterns that will appeal to knitters, both new and experienced. What better way to celebrate a new arrival, or a first or second birthday for that matter, than with a unique knitted gift made just for Baby?
