Editorial Reviews

This third book in the "60 Quick Knits" series (60 Quick Baby Knits) focuses on projects knit in Cascade 220 Sport, an economical, sport-weight yarn available in a wide variety of colors. This collection includes 20 hats, 20 scarves, and 20 mittens knit via a variety of techniques, including cables, lace, stranded color work, intarsia, and double knitting. The majority of the patterns in the collection are designed for intermediate to advanced knitters, though the degree of difficulty listed on several of the projects seems inflated. Like other books in the series, these knits would make excellent gifts—there's plenty of style for a small investment of money and time.
