Simple Knits For Cherished Babies

Delightfully soft and luxurious, these charming knits for little ones will become the heirlooms of the future. All the designs take only a weekend or less for even inexperienced knitters to complete, and use pure yarns that feel gentle against baby's delicate skin. Here are all the classic items in carefully chosen pastels and neutrals for long-lasting appeal. Fine silk booties make the perfect gift, especially when trimmed with rosettes or matching organza ribbons. Stretchy and snug, they can be knitted in three sizes. Personalize the beautifully textured merino wool blanket with the infant's initials. Or try a bath wrap; cashmere Christening robe; hats, bonnets, and mittens; socks and slippers. Baby--and mommy and daddy, too--will appreciate it forever.
