Following the wonderfully successful beginner book, Knit How, and our pullover and sock compendiums, Ready Set Raglan and Ready Set Socks, we thought it was about time we let kids in on the action too!

A collection of 11 versatile knitting and crochet patterns for kids aged 0-10, Mini Pom reimagines classic grown-up patterns from the archives of Pom Pom for our tiny friends, as well as some just-for-kids designs, all in the fun and modern style we’re known for.

Notes: Hat is worked from the bottom up with long circular needles, using the Magic Loop method. A shorter circumference, like 40cm / 16”, can be used instead for Size 2 & 3. However, DPNs will also be needed for working the decreases in the crown. Size 1 is too small for this method but can be worked just using DPNs.
