We love the cheerful tone and loveable patterns that appear on every page of Lucinda Guy's knitting books.  Accompanied by illustrator Francois Hall's enchanting images, the patterns are as satisfying to knit as they are sweet to behold. These patterns often present a challenging new technique or unfamiliar stitch that is easy to learn in a pint-sized project, such as intarsia, used in the blanket pictured below, or the pretty stitch pattern pictured at left (Both projects appear in And So to Bed).

Knitters at Purl enjoy the concise directions paired with playful images. You can imagine a kid really enjoying the beautiful clothes and toys Guy designs, not to mention imagining the fun you'll have knitting them!
