I review a lot of books over at About.com, but I’m never anywhere near caught up. There’s always more to read and write about than I make time to.
So in that spirit I thought I would start trying to do a book review over here every week, on Tuesdays, to spread the knitting book love around a bit.
This also seems to be Leisure Arts week here at Craft Gossip, because I picked out another one of their books to tell you about. Knit Hats for Babies by Lee Ann Garrett is a really cute book full of seasonal hat patterns for little ones.
From a football to a Santa hat, a hat inspired by an Easter egg to a square hat adorned with hearts, these nine patterns are sized to fir babies up to a year of age. They’re sweet, fun to knit and adorable on their own, but even cuter with a wee head inside.
My favorites are the Santa hat and the two Halloween hats: one that looks like a ghost and one a witch hat. The scale is just so cute, they’re hard to resist!
You can see all the patterns on Ravelry, and it’s highly likely I’ll be giving this one away soon, so stay tuned for that.
Do you knit themed hats for babies? I’d love to hear about your favorites.
I bought this book in the fall and have made several of the hats, including the baseball, football and ghost. I made the hats for my 17-month grandson and I can’t tell you the number of people who have stopped to comment on them. Great book with good, easy to follow directions.
Thanks for your comments! They’re such cute projects.
