Debbie Bliss is a well-known and celebrated designer who brings fun and excitement to her books. This book has over 20 original designs for newborns and toddlers. Chapters are dedicated to size, shape, embellishments, and special occasions for the little ones. There is a design workbook with basic shapes to customize and personalize. Plus knitter’s graph paper, nursery motifs, stitch gauge, and interchangeable alphabet. Bliss has over 20 years design experience and brings all that talent to this fresh and innovative book for babies. My favorite design was the Flower Girl Frock with its charm and whimsy. This book has excellent instruction, photos, and interesting tidbits in the sidebars. The designs are presented in a way that you can duplicate the original or really make it your own one of a kind. Hats, sweaters, hoodies, dresses, and more make this a great design and pattern book.
