Not much crochet and not so easy,
By
This review is from: Family Circle Easy Toys: 25 Delightful Creations to Knit and Crochet (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I am a new knitter and an experienced crocheter. I was looking for some patterns for crochet toys or easy knits. This has neither.
That said, there are some very cute and fun patterns. While the fair isle for the ears is a bit complicated (and not at all easy) for the newish knitter, the pig on the cover of the book is a fast project and worth the effort! I am in the middle of the dinosaur for my daughter and am looking forward to making the adorable penguins and polar bear. If you are an experienced knitter, this is a nice book for making special and unique gifts. If you are looking for crochet patterns, keep looking.

Best little stuffed animal book ever,
By Donna C "Knit Knut" (Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Family Circle Easy Toys: 25 Delightful Creations to Knit and Crochet (Hardcover)
I am a creative knitter, I love these patterns. I don't worry about using the yarn the author used, I pick a yarn of the same gauge that I like and go for it. My oopsy daisy dolls are turning out wonderful (one pink and one blue) and the yarn I purchased for the little pig is going to be adorable. When you knit you should put yourself into the design not just copy the author. Go for it and have fun, with these little animals you can.

Beware the title!,
This review is from: Family Circle Easy Toys: 25 Delightful Creations to Knit and Crochet (Hardcover)
I am so sick of publishers putting out books that say "Knit and crochet" then throw in very little (and very stupid) crochet patterns! This "And crochet" is TWO patterns. And they are just crocheted yo-yo's put together to make a snake and a clown. If you don't knit, don't buy this at all!!!!!!!!!!!
