Book Review – All-Year-Round Knitting for Little Sweethearts

I recently purchased “All-Year-Round Knitting for Little Sweethearts: 68 Patterns for Everyday, Parties, and Special Times” and I am impressed by the variety and cuteness of the designs included in this book. From winter pine cone pants to summer sweet skirts, there is a pattern for every season and occasion. The book offers a range of sizes from babies to adults, which makes it perfect for creating matching outfits for the whole family.

The designs are created by KlompeLompe, a Norwegian brand that is known for its nature-inspired and sweetly casual appeal. The patterns are easy to follow and are organized by level of difficulty, making it easy to choose a pattern that is suitable for your skill level.

Although I have not yet had the opportunity to make any of the designs, they are definitely on my project list. The book is filled with adorable and stylish clothing designs that are perfect for everyday wear, special occasions, and even matching family outfits. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to knit and is looking for inspiration for their next project. Your little sweethearts will never look sweeter with these patterns.

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
