Essential Baby is the most complete knitwear collection for new babies, featuring 22 must-have items in popular hand-knit designer Debbie Bliss' softest, comfiest yarns to keep your newborn pampered and peaceful from his first days, to his first steps

When devising this collection of key garments and nursery accessories, Debbie carefully considered the specialized needs of new parents and babies everywhere. The book is divided into three sections: Coming Home, At Home, and On the Go, with wonderful photographs throughout to illustrate color, texture, and fit. From core nursery basics- including contemporary, hooded "all-in-one" carrying bag and lacy shawl- to bedtime must-haves like a cuddly lamb toy, belted robe, and felted slippers, every necessity is addressed with both style and comfort in mind. For baby's first trips out of the house, a warm duffle coat, chunky socks, and a reversible blanket to tuck in the stroller will keep infants cozy, and charming knitted diaper bag is sure to please the most discerning parent.

With sizes appropriate for newborns to 18 months, step-by-step instructions, and helpful charts and templates, Essential Baby is the perfect project book for anyone preparing for a new arrival.
