Little Badger Knitwear by Elaine Scott 2000 Paperback

After raising their own children, businesswoman Elaine Scott and designer Ros Badger realized there was a demand for well-made, stylish hand knitwear. The two soon joined forces to create Little Badger. This book features some of their favorite and most successful knitwear designs for infants and toddlers to 6-year-olds. Also included are new patterns for sweaters, hats, blankets, mittens, and leggings; 25 designs in all. 90 charming color photographs and drawings illustrate the text. "When I was pregnant with my first daughter Martha, I was looking through some old knitting patterns . . . I found some lovely old- fashioned pram coats which provided the inspiration for this Denim coat dress. I used the denim cotton yarn with coconut shell buttons, and updated the traditional pram coat design by using moss stitch edging instead of lace, to create a coat dress that looks just as good with pretty dresses or dungarees as it does with a Christening robe." - from the book
