Book SynopsisKnit 20 adorable hats to keep your little one cozy.
This cute and colourful book contains a range of hats, with design styles that will appeal to every knitter. The 20 designs fall into four categories: basic beanies; animal hats; food hats and quirky hats. So whether you fancy making a simple beanie, a cute panda, fox or bee, a colourful watermelon or strawberry, or a quirky Christmas pudding, this book has it all. Choose from hats with ears, stripes, pompoms, tassels, topknots and more – all the techniques are included.
- Clear instructions and simple patterns.
- As babies vary so much in size, each design can be made in three sizes: 0–6 months, 6–12 months, 12–24 months.
- The yarns recommended are all hypoallergenic, washable and with some elasticity, to help the hats keep their shape.
- The hats use relatively small amounts of yarn so are ideal for quick, portable projects.
- Perfect for thoughtful gifts.
Hats are a timeless must-have baby item, especially if you have knitted them yourself! This is a fantastic little project book in a handy pocket-size format, so you can even knit on the go!
Trade ReviewLIBRARY JOURNAL
Crochet designer Rowe’s book encompasses projects that range from standard beanies to adorable animal-themed hats. The book includes clear-cut depictions of basic techniques and patterns, and the author offers options that are sure to give recipients a special keepsake. There are some fun stitches too that add texture to otherwise straightforward designs. Her ideas for color make basic hats brilliant, and some of her ingenious designs require little knitting knowledge yet produce distinctive items, such as a mouse hat with pompom ears. Other projects utilize tassels or playful brims for a delightful touch. She also presents fresh takes on Cabbage Patch Kids with produce-themed hats that include a design of an apple, pumpkin, and more.
VERDICT From the practical to the whimsical, these cute items are perfect for gifts and for new and weekend knitters. Also great for readers looking for a fresh way to keep their baby’s head warm this winter.Table of ContentsIntroduction 4
