I loved the patterns in this book! It was a hard choice to pick just a few of the patterns for the baby showers & new babies in our family. The new moms loved the outfits and will cherish them. Thanks!

I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. One-Stitch Baby Knits is a collection of 22 easy to intermediate level garter stitch baby patterns by Val Pierce. The patterns are well written and the instruction clear and concise. Some of the photos seem quite small but then I read the ebook version on an iPad mini so I assume they will be larger in the print version. The technique instructions are good for right handed knitters but if you are a lefty like me I would look for another source for technique instructions. I would recommend this book for beginning knitters. Publishing Date June 10. 2019 #NetGalley #OneStitchBabyKnits #ValPierce #FoxChapel Publishing #IMMLifestyleBooks

I have downloaded this because come the end of May, my extended family is going to welcome a new member and I thought there is no better way to do that than by equipping them with warm and cozy things to wear.

This lovely book features so many cute designs, with a great variety of clothes and accessories.

It starts with a beginners must-have description of tools, materials and techniques one needs to know to make these super easy but gorgeous pieces. It features lovely photos and detailed descriptions.

I can't wait to make the bunny ear hat! I hope the little one will love it 😳

What a cute book of baby knits! The projects in this book are simple enough for a determined beginner but hold a decent amount of visual interest. Everything is worked flat and in garter stitch, for those who are not into purling or circular knitting. It would be easy for more experienced knitters to adjust these patterns and add in some visual interest that may have been sacrificed for simplicity. I probably wouldn't make anything in this book more than once, but definitely see the value in a collection of easy baby knits!

One-Stitch Baby Knits is a great book for who are learning how to knit. There are excellent photographs depicting the steps and lessons. As you move along through the book the projects get progressively more advanced. There is no shaping and no necklines. There are 22 delightful items for baby. If knitting has tickled your crafty side this book is a good way to start. Nicely done.

This gem of a book contains delightful option after option for gifts using only garter stitch. Even better than the fact that they make use of only one stitch, is the fact that they are downright adorable and gift-able. Because the projects are small, they are perfect for beginning knitters to practice with, without too great an investment in time or yarn costs.

This book is full of cute, easy patterns for babies all using the garter stitch (no purling!). Pictures are good, instructions are clear. I have added several to my "to knit" list.

Great book! The directions were clear. I loved the pictures as well as the fact that there were different levels of knitting patterns. Though I have never made one, this book gives me the confidence to try and knit a baby sweater (Striped Yoke Cardigan). I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

Most everyone who knits enjoys knitting for babies. I know that whenever I had a friend who was pregnant I would immediately try to figure out a great hand-made knit for the new baby. "One-Stitch Baby Knits" by Val Pierce is a great go-to book for baby knits. And if you are new to knitting it has very good instructions on a ton of knitting terms and techniques. This book would be a great addition to a knitter's library.

This knitting book would be perfect for a beginner, with simple patterns that only require one type of stitch. From easy patterns like a baby bib up to intermediate and more experienced patterns like a baby cardigan, this book has a variety of cute projects both small and large. If you only have a few hours, you could knit up some sweet baby booties in a flash! Or if you have time for a larger project, you could try one of the adorable sweater and hat combinations.

With clear instructions and photos to illustrate the stitches, this book is easy to follow and full of information.
I really like the beautiful colors and sweet details on each knitting project!

Baby knits are so cute! There are some really neat designs in this book. Regardless of whether you are a beginner or expert knitter, there are projects in here for every skill level. My personal favorite is the Cow's Head applique. I haven't tried to knit any of these projects yet but the instructions are pretty straightforward and similar to other patterns that I've knitted.

This wasn't quite as good as I expected. Some of the patterns (especially the cow set on the cover) were very cute, but I didn't find the other patterns to be items I was interested in making. This would be a good book for those just starting to knit or who were looking to master different stitches.

Facili e adorabili: una combinazione vincente, che fa di questo libro un aiuto prezioso per chi sta imparando a sferruzzare. E regala una miniera di idee per pensieri piccoli e grandi, fatti col cuore, a chi ha in casa un pupo.

A very useful book of knitting patterns for babies with lovely photographs to get an aspiring knitter inspired.. Easy to follow patterns and a section at the beginning depicting basic skills to get started. I do a small amount of knitting for the local maternity unit as they always want blankets and other items for newborns in the special care unit which the mothers are then allowed to keep. My own granddaughter was in special care and has a lovely blanket which was knitted by friends of the hospital so I am certainly going to use the blanket patterns (especially the one with the 3 little faces at the top - delightful) to create blankets for this use as a way of the thanking the unit for the care given. Some of the patterns are just delightful plus being practical, not sure about the knitted dribble bibs though. I will be busy with my needles.

I am so excited to make some of these adorable knits for our baby that is currently cooking! Very cute patterns with detailed instructions and lots of pictures! Awesome choice if you would like to knit for your baby or for a baby shower gift!

One-Stitch Baby Knits is a beginner tutorial and pattern guide for knitting baby projects with garter stitch by Val Pierce. Due out 10th June 2019 from Fox Chapel, it's 144 pages and available in paperback format.

Knitting is a valuable skill and hobby. It's portable, versatile, relatively inexpensive to start with, quiet and fun. A lot of people take up knitting when they're expecting or have a friend/family member who's expecting. Baby items are quick to knit and require little in the way of materials. There is, however, a dearth of appealing beginner accessible baby items.

This book has 22 patterns in garter stitch. (The earlier cover states 25 patterns, but the e-ARC I was sent contains 22 and the new cover reflects the correct number). There is an array of patterns including baby 'staples' such as hats, booties, bibs, and blankets. They are arranged into beginner, intermediate, and experienced levels, but none of the patterns would be frustrating for a keen beginner, especially if they have access to a local knitting shop or experienced knitting friend or relative. The author also includes a number of projects which use 3 dimensional surface techniques to make dolls and pictures which are part of the project, like a snuggle blanket with a 3D duck head on it and a really cute cow hat/mitten set. A fair number of the projects incorporate embroidered details as well.

This is a beginner accessible book and roughly 20% of the page content is used in the introduction and how-to-knit section. The yarns used are widely accessible and easily sourced. There will be an included index and the table of contents includes a useful pictorial gallery in color with page numbers.

Three stars, higher for folks who really love garter stitch and don't mind embroidered details on knits.

I received a free copy from Netgalley for an honest review.

These patterns are great for a quick project or gift. I still wish knitting books would include something for lefties, (even an annotation or tips) as the pattern changes a little; but that’s because I have to rewrite so many to get them to work. If you want a challenge, these also make great base patterns if you want to take a small step and try another simple stitch.

A very nice, simple book for knitting baby items.
Lots of variety and modern projects.
Full instructions, and lots of photos.
The projects seem to be easy to moderate.

This is such a cute book! It's great for beginners (like me) as it covers all the beginner-y things you need before throwing you in to patterns that make 0 sense - the intro goes through needles, stitches, accessories you might find helpful and tips incase you bork the whole thing up anyway (also me)

The patterns are organised by level of difficulty and get progressively more advanced as you get to the end. Each pattern is laid out very neatly and is easy to follow, with lots of pictures so you can compare and make sure you're on the right track! Also, no dud patterns.. IMO lots of craft books have a few great ideas and then fluff out the book with rubbish nobody would want, but I think all of the patterns in here are extremely cute and would make lovely presents :) my favs are the Sleepy Cow set of hat and mittens and the Teddy Bear romper.

If you are looking for a cute baby knitting book or want to learn to knit and don't know where to start I think this would be a nice book to go with.
