Photographs of finished projects and detailed illustrations guide knitters, and all stitches and techniques can be looked up in the section called "School."

Angelika's note: These designs are mostly all fairly simple, but the colors used and the styles make them very attractive. I don't have a little ones, but these designs make me wish I had a little one to knit for! In the book are 24 designs of sweaters, vests, jackets, blankets, socks, hats and toys. If you like to keep one book for possible gifts for little ones, I'd say this would be an excellent choice.
