Every knitter loves to make baby items—for their own family and to give as gifts—and the cuter the better! This book offers patterns for 26 of the most adorable baby rompers you will ever see, in characters and animals including a giraffe, elephant, pumpkin, and ballerina, as well as everyday colorful and striped designs. These designs are also comfortable and practical (easy to take on and off) for the busy parent.
Presented in an easy-to-follow format to build your knitting skills, you can start with a basic romper and then learn to add stripes, bum pockets, and hoods. Take it to the next level and add ears, tails, and other embellishments for a variety of animal designs. All instructions are clear and concise, so even a novice knitter can complete these rompers with ease. The only question is, which one will you knit first?
Doting grannies, friends or parents love to knit something for a newborn. I opened this book and had to smile at all the expressions of the babies and toddlers and then looked to see which pattern caught my eye. For me it has to be “pig”, a simple quick knit project in a DK yarn and there is also a hat to go with the romper which would make it a perfect outfit.
Being quite a traditionalist I found some of the patterns a bit fussy and would have liked to see more everyday rompers in brighter colours with a greater range of stitches.
The patterns are easy to follow with well written instructions and would be suitable for a knitter who is confident in all the basics.
