About this title

From Booklist:

It’s hard to see where the “quick” comes in on most of these adorable offerings. There are blankets made of lace patterns, textured stripes, chevron strips, and intarsia stitches. That said, knitters will delight in having all this choice when it comes to knitting a blanket for a new baby, all done in Cascade Superwash yarns. The book wastes no pages on explanation of techniques—the abbreviations are printed on the back cover. That leaves even more space for the patterns, which provide clear instruction and wonderfully crisp illustrations, allowing readers to see what they are aiming for. One item that might be a bit “quicker” than others is the moss-stitch blanket with a leafy lace insert. Another, done in stockinette stitch, proclaims in big letters, “EAT, PLAY, LOVE.” On the more elaborate side is a basket-weave-stitch blanket with an elaborate tricolor owl in the middle and a dramatic geometric, multicolored eye-catcher. Quick may be a relative term, but this is certainly enticing. --Ilene Cooper
