20 to Knit: Knitted Baby Bootees

Description

No-one can resist knitting a pretty pair of baby bootees for a new baby - so here are twenty of them, all unique but all equally irresistible, in a range of colours and styles. Each pair of bootees requires relatively small quantities of yarn and can be knitted quickly and easily using the clear, step-by-step instructions provided. Each project is accompanied by lists of the materials and equipment required and a stunning full-colour photograph. Suitable for babies from newborn to 6 months.

Val Pierce's passion for knitting began when her father taught her to knit at the age of five. Later in life she began home knitting for yarn manufacturers, and since then she has made a huge range of items, from evening dresses to teddy bears. She later began designing items of her own, and before long Val's designs were appearing regularly in national knitting and crochet magazines. She also teaches knitting, as well as a range of other needlecrafts, to both adults and children. Val lives and works in Shropshire.

Whether you're looking for something quick to knit or want just the right item to add to a larger gift, baby bootees are perfect projects to cast on. The tiny feet treats in this book can be personalised in a number of ways, and Val Pierce has designed 20 adorable makes to suit boys, girls or both. Use up your yarn oddments to make little hi-top laces, add pom-poms, or thread bits of ribbon around the ankles to make a cute accessory for a fancy outfit. Sizes range from newborn to 6 months.-Love Knitting for Babies
