Book excerpt: Comfort, for a child, can be a cuddly blanket or a cozy sweater--and these 50 patterns, created by an award-winning designer, make it so easy to knit something adorable for a baby or toddler. Just follow the concise, simple instructions and full-color photographs of delightful garments, accessories, and throws. First, choose one of the basic silhouettes for a sweater, hat, mitts, booties, or coverlet. Then select from dozens of whimsical motifs to make each item unique. There's a purple cardigan with green stripes and bright yellow ducks, and a matching hat too; a sweater with variously colored fish swimming across a sea-blue background; a sailboat pillow, cow blanket, fire truck pullover with hats and mittens; and other appealing fashions.
