Introduction

I am a firm believer that babies and children should live their lives in comfortable handknits. The label handmade regarding knits for children is often confused with fussy and finicky and implies tiny gauge and a pastel palette, when that doesnt have to be the case.

This book is designed with both the knitter and the wearer in mind, chock-full of designs that are easy to knit and have fuss-free finishing, bright colors, easy-care fibers, and modern silhouettes that little ones will want to wear. Having a young son myself, the thought of him staying still and perfectly clean in a garment that took ages to knit is nothing short of impossible! Children should be able to move, wiggle, dance, pretend, and play, all while wearing beautiful handmade garments, knit by those who love them. Dont tuck those kid knits away after a family photo sessionlet them live their life in them and wear them daily!

Designed by knitters around the world with a limited quantity of skeins and multiple yarn weights represented, these garments are fresh, modern, colorful, andmost importantpractical and fun to knit with no fuss.

Featuring twenty-four patterns including pullovers, pants, rompers, accessories, dresses, blankets, and toys, whether youre knitting for your children or someone elses, these designs will not only stand the test of time, but they also can be knit with just a few special skeins of yarn youve been waiting to use.

From one mama to another, may your childs life be filled with love, knowledge, play, laughter, and handknits!
