5.0 out of 5 stars Crochet, May 6, 2007

This review is from: 200 Stitch Patterns for Baby Blankets: Knitted and Crocheted Designs, Blocks, and Trims for Crib Covers, Shawls, and Afghans (Paperback)

200 Stitch Patterns for Baby Blankets by Jan Eaton is an easy to read book with crochet and knitting patterns. The patterns are explained well and the closeup pictures are a big help. My only problem with the book is that I only know how to crochet and after seeing all of the neat knitting patterns I am anxious to learn how to knit.

This review is from: 200 Stitch Patterns for Baby Blankets: Knitted and Crocheted Designs, Blocks, and Trims for Crib Covers, Shawls, and Afghans (Paperback)

I mostly agree with the other reviewers' positive comments.

To briefly add to the discussion, I will therefore highlight my negatives:

The book would have been better organized by type of pattern, by application (shawl, pram cover etc.), knitted, crocheted etc. This way, when I want to find something later I have a hope of finding it!!

It would have been nice to see more than the very few full sized items based on the patterns in the book, rather than just swatches.

That said, this is still a worthwhile and inspiring book if you want to make baby blankets. Many of the stitches would work well for many other items as well.
