Knits for Boys Reviews

July 2015

If there's anyone who understands what makes little boys tick, it's Kate Oates. She's worked as a kidswear designer in her native US since 2009, but first and foremost she's a mum to four young men. Kate's designs are fun, bold and playful. Just the things a little boy would want. And her experience as a parent has informed her work too. Her clothes are hard-wearing and practical. Importantly she's included advice on how to get extra growth and room from the garments you make to eke as much life from them as possible. And while some of Kate's designs have a modern feel, like the sweater with the T-rex intarsia motif or the knitted t-shirt, others have a timeless vintage look.; These are perfect clothes for your young mans adventures.
