Description
Melissa Leapman is back with a brand new collection of InstaKnitsjust for baby!
In the original InstaKnits she delivered a variety of quick-to-knit, Instagram-worthy patterns for adults, but what about all of the adorable knits for babies? In InstaKnits for Baby she has designed blankets, sweaters, hats, booties, toys, and more in bright pops of color--perfect for any new baby's close-up!
Patterns are organized in sections by the time it takes to knit them, from less than five hours to just over 20 hours, so you can plan your knitting accordingly and know that your gift will be ready when baby arrives. There are 30 patterns in all, sized from newborn to 24 months. Baby shower this weekend? Better stick with a Pixie Hat, Stuffed Froggy, or something else from the "less than five hours" chapter. Have a month or two? Then you've got time for the Sunny Topper, Giraffe Blanket, or Koala Lovey. Insta-Knits for Baby is sure to become your favorite resource for all those last-minute baby gift ideas!
Reviews
Knit and crochet designer Leapman’s (Adorable Baby Cardigans: 9 Quick Projects Knitted from the Top Down) latest book provides knitters with a wide array of projects that are perfect for babies and toddlers to wear or play with. That includes such items as blankets, booties, sweaters, socks, hats, a knit beach ball, stuffed animals, adorable hats, and a treasure trove of many more gift ideas or objects to make for one’s own child or family member. Each project is differentiated not just by difficulty level but also by time constraints. That intention makes this book stand out from other similar offerings. Many readers may be driven to select this for that reason alone. VERDICT Whether readers are looking for last-minute gifts or projects to keep them busy during a TV show, this book delivers cozy, cute creations. Some projects are practical or whimsical, whereas many check both of those boxes.
