Very British Baby Knits: 30 Stylish Designs Fit for a Royal Baby

Susan Campbell. Search Press (www.searchpressusa.com), $24.95 (128p) ISBN 978-1-78221-221-8

In an ode to the newest member of the British royal family, knitwear designer Campbell has crafted a collection of timeless baby knits, with designs for every taste and easy-to-follow instructions. The book offers five classic collections, each one corresponding to a royal estate and style. There's even a final design in each section for a matching knitted toy bunny outfit. Projects include sweaters, overalls, hats/headbands, booties, pants, dresses and all-in-ones. Some highlights: the Anmer hooded top, a darling hooded sweater with buttons and a front pocket; the Sandringham hat, a fun striped number with knotted top corners that resemble bunny ears; and the Windsor all-in-one, featuring buttons and blocks of color at the neck, pocket, and inseam. Anyone searching for quick baby knits with a contemporary twist should find what they're looking for in this sweet collection. (Mar.)
