The patterns included in this book are beautiful, classic, and luxurious, but the book seems to have ignored the obvious:
BABIES CANNOT CONTROL THEIR MESS-MAKING ABILITIES.
That said, if you still want to make a cashmere onesie or silk booties, this book is beautiful. If the intended baby does, in fact, make messes, you may want to consider adjusting the pattern to accommodate more washer-friendly yarns.

I like this book of patterns for baby clothes because it contains the basics that each well dressed baby needs in a new and updated look with classic comfort yarns such as merino wool, silk, and cashmere. The beautiful, soft muted colors complement the patterns and these creations are destined to be family heirlooms handed down from generation to generation. Included are patterns for booties, sweaters, leggings, cardigans, blankets, caps and more. This book will be a staple in any knitter’s coll

Patterns were lush, but pretty much only great for a gift or for a little girl. There was a pretty rosebud sweater that I might revisit at some point if ever I have a little girl to knit for. But I agree with the previous poster about these patterns being unrealistic with respect to premium, expensive, un(machine)washable yarns.

I adore this book. I've yet to knit anything in it, but I've checked it out from the library twice just to look at the photographs, fantasize, and be inspired.
Maybe one day I'll actually knit a pattern.

The baby slippers on the front cover are just awesome and very easy to knit for a great little fancy booty for a new baby

Some really simple, elegant patterns in here, although I will NOT be knitting a baby a cashmere sweater as the book suggests.

There were so many cute things to knit! My favorite were the little booties. The way they adorned them and how they were photographed just made them absolutely adorable. There was also a horrendously cute teddy bear as well. I liked this book and there it was very well put together and the page set-up and pictures were elegent and well thought out. I found a couple of patterns that I wanted to knit. I would recommend.

Some really adorable knits in here - granted, actually having had a baby I would NEVER use the cashmere and silk yarns they call for, but so far I've been able to substitute with no problem. I'm working on the rosebud cardigan for my baby on the way - so far it's come together really well and the pattern is easy to follow -- and I'm looking forward to trying the bootie pattern in the book as well.

This was my very first knitting book and each pattern was simple enough for a beginner. These are easy to read, easy to knit patterns that can always be embellished with learned talent. These simple knits can also be altered with a different stitch making each piece a great basic start.
Thank you Barb for this book.

Cashmere for babies?? Oh please. Easy enough to convert fiber but still. Do not like that the sizing for all the projects are in the back rather than with the projects. Beautifully photographed but the layout makes project details take far more pages than necessary. A few cute projects. Not a need to own book.

Eh. Baby patterns. There's a really good teddy bear pattern in there, but nothing else I was really interested in.

Simple but elegant patterns for babies/toddlers. This is my go-to book whenever I hear someone has a baby on the way.

I found an adorable dress to knit for my sister's best friend. Her little girl is due next month.
