Book Reviews of Chic Knits for Stylish Babies: 65 Charming Patters for the First Year

Book Review: Knits that make you go "Hmmmmm..."
Summary: 3 Stars

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the designs and color combinations. However, and it is a BIG however...I share other reviewers' reservations and add a few of my own.

1) No real babies wearing items -- leaves practicality of items in question; especially when you add that...

2) NO access openings in any of the patterns, you know -- for diapers, for easy on/off; who wants to wake a sleeping baby by struggling with an adorable but awkward piece of clothing?

3) All the yarns suggested are wool/acrylic blends. YUCK. I can't stand to wear wool/acrylic blends next to my well-aged skin; why would a velvety soft baby want it next to theirs?

So, if you don't mind adding modifications to allow for soft, baby-friendly yarns and access, enjoy the beyond cute and original designs. By "original", I mean that they are not your standard pastel baby colors, in traditional bland baby styles. They are NOT freakishly unique or costumish. The chenille design on the cover is as wild as it gets. Many nice color striping combinations and use of texture.

Enjoy.
