Having a son this book made me smile when I saw it.

I find it difficult to get good patterns for boys

and now this book is here to change that.

With 27 projects it's packed full of designs 

you'll want to make.

The book has everything from hats, mittens, vest, cardigans, sweaters (jumpers) and shorts.

With so many different patterns to chose from the only problem you may have

is choosing which you want to make.

I love the fact that the projects cover all seasons.

You can make something for all year round.

Each of the patterns come in sizes from

4 years old to 12 years old.

So once you buy the book you

can make the different projects for years to come.

They would make fantastic gifts for 

friends and family alike.

The thing I also love about this book is the first part 

of the book is taken up with explaining techniques.

Everything from constructing a pattern

to gauge and altering patterns.

As a new knitter this was especially good for me.

It means that I don't feel daunted by

starting a project when all the support is there.

You can tell Kate has a really good understanding

of what boys need out of a garment.

She uses all this information to put together

an amazing selection that will

last through the rough and tumble of boys.

No matter what their age I am sure most boys

will find something they like from this book.

I know I can't wait to get started on knitting

Little Red something.

All the patterns are in written terms 

and come in multiple sizes.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who

wants to knit something for a boy.

To be honest quite a few of the projects would be brilliant 

for girls as well!
