InstaKnits for Baby by Melissa Leapman is a solid book of knitting patterns for little ones (5/5 stars)

InstaKnits for Baby by Melissa Leapman is a solid book of knitting patterns for little ones.

The book is broken down into sections based on how long a pattern takes to knit. Do you only have a few hours? Try a pair of booties or a bib. Have 20-30 hours? There are several blanket patterns here.

I saw quite a few patterns I wanted to try, and cast-on for one of the blankets that has a slip-stitch pattern. I found one error in the chart for that one, but that could have been fixed for the final version of the printed book. The pattern has been very easy to follow, and my version looks just like the one in the book.

There is a good chunk at the back of the book that explains all of the different types of stitches and terms used throughout. Though I consider myself an advanced knitter, crafters of any skill level could find gems here.

I did end up ordering a print copy of this book because I want to knit several things out of it!

I received a copy of this book to review. Thank you to Stackpole Books for the digital ARC. All opinions contained herein are my own.
