The author draws on her experience as a professional knitwear designer to create 30 colourful and practical designs for small children in a range of sizes suitable for newborn babies through to three-year-olds. Patterns incorporate deep armholes and easy-access necklines to minimize dressing problems, and include adapted and scaled-down versions of adult classic knits, such as Aran and Norweigan sweaters. Strong emphasis is placed on practicality as well as design - all yarns are hard-wearing and machine-washable.
