The booties, bibs, toys, blankets, and clothing will be one-of-a-kind items, fit to welcome a special person into the world.

What to Knit When You're Expecting: Simple Mittens, Blankets, Hats \u0026 Sweaters for Baby Reviews

  • Jennie

    I bought this book when I was about 12 weeks pregnant, and it was a good knitting companion for my pregnancy. I made four projects - the Noah sweater, the baby cozy with hat, the shorts, and summer bucket hat. Sometimes I wish the patterns were written a little more clearly (with row/round numbers, etc.), but overall I liked the patterns in this book and would recommend it.

  • Stoney

    Completed the sweater. Very sweet.

  • Mckinley

    Nice variety of things for baby, very cute.

  • Brandi Hodges



    I really enjoyed the patterns in this book. I am NOT having a baby but kept checking this book out from my local library and decided to purchase it when I kept it more than it remained on the shelf! |

    I have made the button bag - which is a really genius pattern of knitting the bag and the inside of the bag at at the same time! I also have made the Summer Sky Blanket, burp cloths, and am currently working on the tutu. There are so many fun patterns in this book that I want to make as long as my friends keep having babies!

    These are well written - so far I haven't come across any mistakes in the patterns. I have found mistakes in book patterns before and it can be very frustrating!

    I knitted 4 of the projects in the book: the Hannah jacket, the baby cozy, the honeycomb blanket, and the Noah sweater. The Hannah jacket in particular is adorable; I made it in gender-neutral green and beige when I was pregnant. I think it makes my little boy look like he belongs in Sherwood Forest with Robin Hood. :)

  • Kelly

    Well this is a nice book with some lovely patterns for me to knit DC2 due in April. I have tons of yarn that needs using up too.

  • Sara

    Some really cute baby patterns and I tagged one sweater to make for Baby Pugal, and Baby Schimming! Both due very soon and both girls.

  • Kimberli

    There are some simple and adorable patterns in this one. I whipped up four pairs of booties with the bootie pattern in this book. I used size 4 needles to up size a bit and all worked well.

  • Leisa

    Great gift ideas for new babies.

  • Lori Anderson

    Adorable baby things, separated into how you are likely to feel during each trimester.
