The longtime knitter and vintage fashion expert puts a contemporary twist on classic knit babywear in this beautifully photographed pattern book. While working as a vintage clothing dealer, combing through estate sales and eBay listings, longtime knitter Kristen Rengren amassed hundreds of knitting pattern booklets from 1920 through 1960. Now a knitwear designer, Rengren brings us the result of her combined passions in Vintage Baby Knits, a charming collection of more than 40 contemporary updates of timeless baby patterns. Projects range from small, quick-to-knit items like hats, booties, and shrugs to larger, more challenging designs for sweaters, onesies, and dresses, including a lace christening gown. Beautiful photographs capture a bevy of adorable babies and toddlers wearing these knitted treasures. Also included are sidebars on baby fashion and knitting culture in this bygone era, and a complete reference section. Destined to be a classic itself, Vintage Baby Knits promises family heirlooms for 21st-century babies. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

With that out of the way, let me tell you about the real meat of the book - the patterns. There are an abundance of them, representing many eras. Valuable page space is not wasted on teaching you knitting basics again; if you're buying a big pattern book, it is rightly assumed that you know how. She does dedicate part of the book to explaining how to translate old patterns yourself, and I found that very helpful.
There is a good range of styles and sizes presented, from newborn up through toddler. Toys, blankets, clothing, all find a home within.
I do not even have children, or any to knit for, but I am more than happy that I bought this book. It is truly excellent. The best knitting book I have purchased, hands down. ( )
