5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book From A Devoted Knitter, July 8, 2003

As a devoted knitter, I never thought I would crochet until I found this book, which features adorable clothing for children up to 4 years of age. The patterns are well written, quick to produce and made with affordable yarns. This book has converted me! Well worth the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand, January 22, 2004

By 

Em Mac (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crochet for Tots: 20 Fresh and Fun Designs (Paperback)

This book is excellent for those who look at crochet patterns and become overwhelmed. The garments are simple and the instructions are well written and easy to understand. I have even found myself working out how to mix and match the designs, for example putting in longer sleeves on a sweater in the cardigan, plus add the hood from the pullover. Something I never thought I'd do! The fact that the designs are all made with the same size range for every garment makes this possible. Another great feature is that it has a diagram for every pattern showing all the pieces and what they should measure before sewing the garment together, which is very helpful to me as my tension changes all the time, so I just wing it until I have the right measurements. An excellent book

Okay, I maybe overdoing it a little as I have not much background on crocheting. But I am just so excited on finishing up this particular design for my twins. This book is excellent and contains many creative and fun designs. Although I wish it has more booties design as well. Highly recommended!
