One-Skein Wonders® for Babies: 101 Knitting Projects for Infants & Toddlers

Lots of goodies to knit for the little ones in your life. Highly recommend. I would also highly recommend all of the other "One-Skein Wonders" books for anyone's knittting library. There's something to interest everyone in each book. I have used them time and again, not only for the patterns, but for inspiration. There is also a handy glossary of knittting terms and instructions in the back of each book.

The books in the "One-skein" series are great...this one does require slightly larger skeins (in yardage) to complete some of the projects, and is not organized by yarn weight (eg #1 lace-weight, #2 fingering weight, #3 sports weight, etc), but by the type of project (eg. tops, bottoms, blankets, etc.)

As with any collection, there will be patterns I like better than others and some I don't like at all, but this collection has lots that I love. And in a wide variety of yarn weights, too. I've already made one sweater, which pattern alone was worth the price of the (used) book.

I am blown away by the wonderful projects included in this book. I have a grandchild on the way and another one who is still a toddler and I was looking for a set of projects that I could accomplish fairly quickly while using up some of the extra skeins of yarn I have."One-Skein Wonders for Babies" is exactly the book I wanted and needed. I wasn't aware of this series of books, but apparently this is the six edition in the series. I will certainly be purchasing the others (I see one is crochet, too!)The projects are by many different designers and range from clothing to blankets to toys and lots of other fun stuff in-between. The chapter titles tell it all:1. Little Ensembles2. Little Tops3. Little Bottoms4. Little Dresses5. Little Hats6. Little Socks and Bootees7. Little Accessories8. Little Blankets9. Little Toys10. Little MiscellanyEach chapter has many different entries, so there is a wide range of projects to chose from. I really like that there are patterns for items for girls and boys and those which are gender neutral. My toddler grandchild is a boy but the baby-on-the-way is not yet known, so I will start with a gender neutral matching pair for the two of them.The projects are well-laid out with comprehensive directions. I am a much stronger crocheter than knitter but I think I can tackle any one of these projects and get them done well. Each pattern includes the size(s) the pattern can make, the type actually used and amount of yarn needed, needles used, gauge, and extra supplies you will need. This makes it simple to follow along, or if you prefer, to swap out for the yarn that you have on-hand.The photographs in the book are outstanding and make each project a joy to behold. The back of the book has general directions for knitting information and additionally, lists the designers for the various items. This is great if you are really like a particular style and want to see if the designer has additional patterns available that might suit your taste.I received a digital ARC copy of this book from the publisher, Storey Publishing, LLC, via Netgalley. I have also purchased a hard-copy to have in my library and to use often.

The book has patterns for very cute clothes and baby items that can be made from just one skein or left-over yarn from large balls. I will be glad to share the patterns with my needlework friends.

Where to start to describe the patterns? If a knitter can't find something to knit in this book I don't know where they would look for patterns. I have made 6 items already for friends and grandchildren and having many still waiting on the to-do list!

Lots and lots of cute patterns.Nice variety ranging from clothing to toys. For a used book it's in very good condition!

This book is in perfect condition. FAST service.

I was totally amazed at the number of lovely patterns to knit a little one with some thoughtful extras for mom. This is such a well-organized pattern book covering so many aspects of baby's clothing needs as well as really cute toys. I am excited to start knitting.

This is a great knitting book of special projects. Lots of different patterns you will enjoy making for a special little one.If you knit for bazaars this is a great book, lots of lovely designs to keep you busy.Great companion for One-Skein Wonders for Babies the crochet addition.Both of my books arrived together, and early.

Ich liebe dieses Buch - habe noch mehr Bücher aus dieser Reihe...weil supertolle Modelle drin sind, und alles ganz genau erklärt und beschrieben wird. Dadurch ist das Buch auch für Anfänger geeignet, wenn man sich erst mal an die einfacheren Modelle hält...Mützen, Westen, Jacken, Schuhe, Socken, etc. ... - alles rund ums Baby...Wirklich nette und tolle Ideen, die ich noch in keinem anderen meiner vielen Strickbücher gefunden habe.Auch tolle neue Muster - ganz einfach und leicht zu stricken, machen aber trotzdem sehr viel her...Eindeutige Kauf-Empfehlung!!!

Several cute baby sweaters in this book. I borrowed it from the library several times and decided I needed to own it. Excellent for knitters who have one skein of yarn they have purchased or have left over from other projects. FYI most projects require 400-500 yards.

There was a bolero in this book that I had borrowed from the library a long time ago. The library doesn't have it anymore so I decided to purchase my own copy of it. Have now knitted the bolero and would try it again in other colours. Love the many baby items that are in the book for knitting. Enjoy the book very much.
