I do wish more of DB's books had diagrams. Schematics are essential for gaining a quick understanding of shape and fit of a pattern. Many of her patterns feature photographs that do not adequately reveal details such as the type of sleeve join.

I just LOVE this book. I borrowed it from the library originally and decided to buy it as it has such simple designs that are super fast to knit. My favourite completed project is a little bow-tied bolero jacket which I made in a lovely scarlett red pure wool from Australia. It looks fantastic and gets compliments everytime my daughter wears it. It is a simple stocking and garter stitch pattern which more than rewards you for the minimal time it took to make. I am off on a buying trip tomorrow to buy the yarn to make the littled beaded cardigan in pale blue cashmerino with glass sead beads embroidered on. I have chosen these designs as they were the only ones which went to a size 24-36 months. I will start on some of the newborn sized items as baby gifts next. I have found no mistakes in the instructions thus far as they are simple, clear and concise but I like that you can check on debbie's website and get a complete list of amendments for all her pattern books typos. At least she provides this as many authors dont!! Highly recommended has simple through to more complicated deigns. Happy knitting!!!!

Typical Debbie Bliss book. Great follow on and companion to her books for younger children. If you are a fan, and I am, this is for you, if not rey a sensible, useful approach, with stylish, achieveable garments.

Debbie Bliss has done it again! There is not a single pattern in this book that I don't want to knit. Gorgeous photography, straightforward instructions, what more could a knitter ask for? A great addition to your library.
