Still Crazy for Baby
When a new member of the family arrives, life can get a little crazy--in the very best of ways! After all, this is a time for important things like baby talk and games of peekaboo. It’s also time to go a little crazy with quilt-making. Just like the quilts in the first Crazy for Baby book, #4161, these four quick and easy designs for Baby use playful print fabrics to make quilts that are big fun for you and that special little one. The piecing goes fast on First Step, Babysitter, and Play Date, and it takes just a little more time to add a perky line of prairie points to Giggles. We’re showing each of the four quilts in optional colorways, so you can see more of the wonderful ways that Baby’s quilts can come alive with prints and colors!
Knits for the Modern Baby
Knitting for children means thinking about the child with every stitch and giving an item that is filled with love, warmth, and positive thoughts. All of these 21 garments, toys, and blankets designed by Lena Maikon are fashionable and fun, stylish and easy to wear. There are plenty for keeping warm during winter, including hats with earflaps, sweaters, vests, and fuzzy socks. Others are perfect for spring and early autumn, such as lightweight cardigans, roomy jumpers, and breezy overalls. All are sure to become favorites: clothes that will be worn, cherished, and saved long after they've been outgrown, and toys and blankets that will be hugged, played with, and snuggled. There is something for knitters of every skill level in this book.

Knit Lace & Leaves for Baby
Just imagine: You can knit these baby gifts without the need to mark the size on your pattern! No more double- and triple-checking to be certain you have the right number of stitches! That's because the finished size of these garments depends entirely on yarn weight (super fine, light, or medium) and needle size (3, 5, or 7). Create a soft and warm layette for Baby in your choice of preemie, newborn, or 3-6 month sizes. Designed by Jeannine LaRoche, the Leaf Pattern Set and Lace Pattern Set each include a sweater, cap, bonnet, and blanket.
Shower of Cables
When it's time to prepare a gift for a new arrival, you want to be able to give something truly special. That's why Karen Ratto-Whooley created these exceptional baby blankets. Not just another set of afghans for little ones, these designs offer a delightful variety of cables to crochet in light or medium weight yarn. When crocheted from one of Karen's patterns, your baby gift is sure to be greeted with plenty of "oohs" and "aahs."
