This is a nice collection of baby knit patterns. They are intended as "beginner" level patterns, but I would rate them as more "advanced beginner" or even "intermediate" level patterns. There are also quite a few small buttons on these garments, which - as an overprotective American - make me wonder if they're a choking hazard around infants and very small children.

Nevertheless, this is a good basic baby knit pattern book. The basic instructions at the beginning of the book are particularly good and recommended for new knitters.

This is by a British knitting expert, and I appreciate that she took the trouble to translate some of the British knitting terms into American English. However, many of the yarns listed are those available in Britain; I only recognized one yarn readily available in the U.S.

I'll rate this book 5 for Brits, 3 for Americans, splitting the difference with an overall 4.

One-Stitch Baby Knits
by Val Pierce

As a knitter, I found this book to be a perfect starter book for someone to learn from. You’ll learn about yarns and what to use for different projects. The two main stitches, knit and purl is taught and which you will use to complete the projects in this book. Directions are clear and concise and you will complete a project in no time at all.

I recommend this book for a new knitter who wants to learn knitting while completing a real project at the same time. As an experienced knitter I am enjoying working on the adorable cow baby hat!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a great addition to any knitter’s library. There are many great ideas for a baby. There are quick, easy projects that are perfect for newborns.

This is a great book, fabulous for someone starting out in knitting, or someone who just wants make something quick and easy. There is only one stitch to worry about and each project works on building up ability on the basis of using "knit" stitch throughout. There are easy as well as more difficult baby knits to make, all very cute and all would make lovely handmade gift to any baby.

I thoroughly enjoyed the many patters in this book. Most are for beginners and quite lovely. I highly recommend this book for knitters interested in knitting baby items. I recently had a beautiful great granddaughter born and will be making sonmme of these yummy items. Thank you and happy knitting to me!

This book contains patterns for beginners that are for infants and newborns. All of the patterns use a simple garter stitch. It has clear photos of the finished projects. It contains easy to follow information about the different stitches used, and it has pictures and diagrams to illustrate how to complete the stitches. I think the patterns are very cute, and they are for both boys and girls.

What a great book. I would describe myself as an experienced knitter who has tackled some very complicated patterns in the past but it is the simplicity of these knits that appeal to me.

The book has very clear explanations of the art of knitting to begin with before splitting the patterns into simple, intermediate and more challenging groups. Granted there are a couple of things I wouldn't attempt; knitted bibs and burp cloths seem a bit yuk to me! However there are definitely far more that I will, make especially some of the little shoes. I will also use it to help my granddaughter learn how to knit as she could almost immediately make some of the basic items.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to Netgalley and the publishers in exchange for an unbiased review and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to knit or likes cute baby patterns which are a little different.

This would be a great book for a newer knitter. Patterns are knit in garter stitch with minimal shaping making most of the projects simple enough to be made by a beginner, though some would present a bit more challenge and an opportunity to learn new techniques. The variety of projects will suit any knitter looking for a simple, handmade gift for a tiny loved one.

Thank you to Fox Chapel Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book n exchange for my honest review.

Full of interesting patterns, this is a great book especially for those who are interested in learning to knit. The instructions are very easy to follow and includes how to cast on and off, increasing and decreasing, picking up stitches, working with two or more colours and plenty of other useful information. What i especially find useful, is the needle size conversion chart and the yarn weight conversions. Although i am an experienced knitter, there are some wonderful projects in this book that i will make sooner or later. It is nice to sometimes knit simple items.
My favourite is the Kimono Wrap Set. The pictures are very clear. Recommended.

My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers for my copy. This is my honest review.

A great knitting book for both beginners and more advanced knitters. Lovely patterns, I want to make tham all! Not only patterns but also clear tutorials and instructions. If you have a little person on the way or a lttle person to knit for I would thoroughly recommend this book.
