I have an almost 10 year old daughter, and have the hardest time finding crochet clothing/accessory patterns in her size. It seems that most crochet books and magazines have an abundance of patterns for babies and toddlers, but very little for older kids. The variety of patterns is great, especially the boys' items - they include a number of really nice sweaters that would be appropriate for girls as well, if done in different colors. I have an almost 5 year old son, and there is an even bigger scarcity of crochet patterns for boys, so I am looking forward to making some of the items for him when he gets a little older. My daughter saw the book, and has already picked out some things she wants me to make for her. As an advanced beginner crocheter, I was also pleased to see that the patterns all look easy to follow, and that most use widely-available, inexpensive yarns. The spiral binding is great too - I like that it will lie flat while I crochet. Overall, I was very pleased with this book, and highly recommend it for anyone who crochets for older kids.

I'm new to crochet, but Crochet Kid Stuff was a blast. A young friend loved the backpack "dangle" I made for him from this book. And I'm thinking of tackling the jelly yarn purse for my neice. These projects will keep me stitching for months to come.

This little book has a bunch of cute, easy projects, even for a beginner like me!
