Beautiful, innovative designs, great instructions,

This review is from: Candy Blankies: Unique Crochet for Babies & Toddlers (Paperback)
This book has it all...beautifully designed blankets that go well beyond pink, blue and white granny square or chevron afghan, with easy-to-follow instructions and quality photography.
Candy Blankies contains 29 patterns that are sophisticated yet simple to make, deriving their beauty from whimsical color choices and great design. Many of the patterns, for example, call for weaving in contrasting or complementary colors into finished pieces, a simple way to add dimension and complexity without much time and effort. The front of the book showcases the patterns, each with its own 2-page spread; the second half includes instructions, again with each pattern across two pages, which include a photograph of the finished piece lying flat. Though this book contains only afghan patterns, it has served as inspiration for me on many other projects, including scarves, purses and pillows.

This book is what initially attracted me to crochet. I have lots of babies in my life and these blankets are cute and modern. Definitely a great book to make out of the ordinary crochet projects.
The patterns are appropriate for crochet-ers of all levels...I am sucessfully working on a project as a newbie myself!

My Favorite Crochet Book!!,
This review is from: Candy Blankies: Unique Crochet for Babies & Toddlers (Paperback)
This book is by far the crochet book that I use the most. The patterns are practical and require minimal crochet skills, but still produce AMAZING results. My favorite thing about the book is that Candi made the patterns simple to complete, using weaving end embroidery for embellishments rather than requiring complex, time consuming hook tricks. It is also simple to translate these patterns into bigger afghans because the book uses bright, bold colors instead of just baby pastels. You need this book!
