Animal Knits for Kids: 30 Cute Knitted Projects They’ll Love

Knitting designer Berry’s guide to baby animal knits for baby humans is a festival of extremely adorable photos, punctuated by a variety of realistic, can-do projects for knitters of all levels. The sheer variety of projects saves the book from feeling one-note. The projects aren’t limited to onesies and sweaters; polar bear paw print shoes and mittens, or the reindeer antler hat, will keep kids warm in winter, and the tropical waves baby blanket or the desert boots are suited for summer. The table of contents itself offers a joyous journey, with a map that guides knitters through themed sections from a “Safari Adventure” to “Polar Regions” and beyond. A star rating guide shows the difficulty of each project, and abundant instructional material will help both novice crafters and more advanced knitters. This is truly an inspired romp through the animal kingdom. (Mar.)
