Knitting book for babies

Hi all,

Wondered if anyone could recommend a good knitting book for baby clothes? I'm not a particularly skilled knitter but have a fairly good handle on reading patterns etc. However lots of the books I've seen so far have lots of toys/teddies etc. which isn't really what I want.

Any recommendations would be fab! Thank you! Smile

Debbie Bliss has some lovely baby and toddler pattern books. Have a look on amazon, they give you a preview of the book and you can see the pictures of the patterns.

I have a few Debbie bliss books and they are ok. I don't like how each pattern is made up from lots of pieces rather than being knit in the round to make it easier! I get my patterns from ravelry. If anyone knows of a good in-the-round baby knitting book id be v interested.

I've got Dorling & Kindersley Baby & Toddler Knits made Easy. It's got a nice mix of clothes, accessories, toys and things for the nursery. Also Ravelry has a lot of free patterns.

I agree - get yourself over to Ravelry and you will find every pattern you could ever want. No need to buy books unless you particularly want to.

Hahaha BikeRunSki they'd probably be better at it than I am!

I had a look at Ravelry and have picked out a gilet to knit! But will also check the books out too!

Thank you for all the suggestions! Baby will now almost certainly have some misshape, homemade clothing item to call its own!
