I generally don't like Mellor's stuff (I would never buy Paintbox Knits--but I keep looking through ALL the knitting books I find) but the fish hat (bomber style) in this book really caught my eye.

Rating:  - Another Great Book!!!
I love all of Zoe Mellor's book. In this one the Ladybird pillow and blanket top my favorites list. The cover sweater comes in a close second. This author just seems to have endless creative ideas when it comes to knitting for children. Almost all of her patterns are unisex which is lovely.
Happy Knitting,

But every project is specified for different age group; so if you want a pair of cute slipper for your 6 years old daughtor, you may find that you need a lot more work than you think a pattern would do for you, because it only tells you how many stiches and materials are there for infants 3 or 6 or 9 monthes. Great book for looking for inspiration though, and study maybe, coffee table book even.
Rating: - Good Knitting Book
I'm not a big Zoe Mellor fan, but I do think that she's got some very creative ideas. In this book, the items range from sweaters to bags, toys, and pillows.

Many of the items are in themes kids like - specifically farm and wild animals. Because intarsia is used, the main stitch is stockinette, but other stitches (moss, garter, and cables) ... Read More
