Children's knitting books

[Clare]

I have a little girl (nearly a year) who I'd love to learn to knit when she's a little older. Obviously she's too young now but do you guys know of any books out there that would be helpful if she shows an interest?

This simple Leisure Arts book has very straightforward instructions and projects for teaching kids to knit: Teach a Group of Kids to Knit.

[Laura]

Kids' Knitting by Melanie Falick is great. The instructions are straightforward and they have a number of good projects, as well.

[Jessica]

I know that the Montessori method incorporates knitting into the curriculum for young kids, often starting with simple finger knitting. I haven't poked around looking yet, but I bet you could find Montessori materials that would help you teach her.

I agree Melanie Falick's book is good.

There are some patterns I really like in Kath Dalmeny's World of Knitted Toys. The snake in particular is extremely easy - just knitting and perling with a few increases and decreases. My knitting teacher says she used to teach from it when she was teaching knitting to kids in a local Montessori school.
