"Absolutely loved this pattern, so much so I am doing another one"

"I love where the pattern says (the boring stuff (read it, anyway!). This pattern is not only easy to follow, it is filled with lots of tips, tricks, and advice that would be helpful to anyone, especially those new to knitting socks. I found it very amusing to read. I am looking forward to making them."

"These are really cute boots and I would love to try them, but the pattern is confusing me because it isnt clear as to whether we use straight needles, circular needles, or double pointed needles. Some of the sections say to turn and some of them dont. They are seemed together, so I am assuming straight needles would be ok. Clarification would be very helpful."

"I have noticed that the yarn weight is missing from this pattern. It should say #4 worsted. I use phentex slipper and craft yarn to make mine more durable."

"You can never have enough knit dish cloths, and I love how unique this one is. Dish cloths are fast to make, so they are great for gift giving too. I used to make my grandmother a bunch of them a couple of times a year. She liked to take them to the cottage with her. This pattern looks like it will be a fun one."

Knowing what types of patterns to knit for children can be challenging.  Trying to find stylish summer patterns for kids adds even more to the struggle.  With this beautiful collection of 32 light weight, summer patterns, author Kristi Porter makes it look all-so-easy.  Inside this charming book you will find stunning photography mixed with various designs for children sizes 2-12. 

 

From cute hats, to knit shorts and lacey tanks and sweaters, this book has a great selection of patterns for both boys and girls alike.  The adorable Carry-All Caddie Bag on pg. 25 is so gorgeous and handy, I might just have to make one for myself.  Constructed with a simple, all-over pattern and colorful i-cord handles, this bag would make a great summer accessory for both children and adults. 

 

Besides the lovely patterns included in this book, you will also find a useful chart with defined knitting abbreviations in addition to short, illustrated tutorials for selective special knitting techniques that are included in some of the patterns.  So if you are searching for an extensive group of patterns to make for children this summer, or if you live in a place that's warm year-round, More Knitting in the Sun: 32 Patterns to Knit for Kids, would be a great book to add to your library.
