Thirty-eight million Americans knit, and that number grows every day. The baby hat is the perfect project for knitters of any level, with enchanting patterns that are easy enough for rank beginners but also interesting enough for the most accomplished needle wielders, in yarns that range from silk and linen to cashmere and mohair.
Susan Anderson’s Itty-Bitty Hats presents thirty-eight irresistible designs for infants and toddlers—fun, hip, creative patterns with decorative flourishes that are witty, whimsical, and undeniably unique. The projects are arranged by order of difficulty and accompanied by beautiful photographs, instructive how-to illustrations, and utterly clear instructions (with no confusing abbreviations or insider shorthand). Anderson also provides an indispensable introductory section on stitches, materials, equipment, terminology, and techniques, allowing even the most inexperienced knitter to get started confidently.
Made for boys and girls, by parents and grandparents, aunts and even uncles, and, of course, best friends, the handmade hat is the perfect shower or birth or birthday gift—and Itty-Bitty Hats is the perfect gift for any knitter. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Itty Bitty HatsDec 22, 2009
I am a new self taught knitter. This book has been a wonderful knitting experience for me. I learned how to knit on double pointed needles with this book. All the patterns are very clear and easy for a new knitter. I have knitted half the hats in this book so far. The hats are so cute everybody wants one. Susan B Anderson has a blog: [...] and there is also a group on Ravelry [...] called Itty-Bitty Knits. On both of these sites you can contact Susan with any questions. She also has tutorials on her blog. She is sweet, talented and very friendly. If I could only recommend one book on knitting this would be the one.
Happy knitting!

Lots of fun for beginnersAug 08, 2009
I spotted this book on a table while in line to check out at a bookstore. I picked it up and was inspired to start knitting again after a 5 year hiatus. The technique explanations are just the ticket for beginners or those in need of a refresher (like me). The designs are cute and interesting...also easily modifiable for the more advanced knitter. I have made hats from this book for co-workers, family, and friends and they never fail to delight. The "simple" caps are an incredibly quick knit and make wonderful donations to churches, charities, or hospital NICUs. If you are looking for sweet little projects that give instant gratification, get this book. (Bonus points for the layout and spiral binding!)
