InstaKnits for Baby is an attractive and quick-to-knit collection of baby things by Melissa Leapman. Released 5th Dec 2023 by Rowman & Littlefield on their Stackpole Books imprint, it's 168 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats. 

The patterns are simple and most don't take a large time commitment. The books patterns are arranged by rough time estimates for completing each project: from under 5 hours to around 20 hours (or more). Each tutorial is accompanied by clear step-by-step photos and easy to understand instructions. Nearly all of the projects are beginner-friendly and perfectly doable by anyone. Many (most) of them use very little yarn and would be great for using up odds and ends which every knitter has lying around. 

Four stars. These would also be great for charity knitting projects, gifts, maker's groups, etc. (Limited reproduction allowed by the author/publisher, but commercial production in large scale expressly forbidden). There are a number of soft cuddly stuffies included which is a nice bonus. 

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
