Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-8–In this handsomely designed volume, a combination of softly hued illustrations, sharp, colorful photos (including dozens of full page), and step-by-step instructions clearly guides young people (including "lefties") through 15 projects. All aspects of crocheting are covered: yarns, tools, hooks, size, sides, rows, attaching a new color, borders, texture, increasing/decreasing, stitches (chain, single crochet, woven, rib). Handcrafted items include a neck cozy, tool pouch, friendship cuffs, patchwork poncho, triangle-square quilt and pillow, and critter cushions. Boxed text provides useful information on winding a ball of yarn, weaving in tails, sewing on a button, keeping track of rounds, etc. Along with Susan O'Reilly's Knitting and Crochet (Thomson Learning, l994), this title is a good choice for craft collections.–Augusta R.

From Booklist

Gr. 4-7. Here's another beautiful crochet book to join Jane Davis' Crochet: Fantastic Jewelry, Hats, Purses, Pillows & More (2005). This, too, has projects that kids will really enjoy making: hats, a poncho, a pillow, a scarf, bags, toys, and head and wrist bands. What will especially entice children are the sharply reproduced color photographs, which make the projects pop. Also excellent are the attractive drawings showing crochet basics. This offers some extra bang for the buck with sidebars providing instructions for more-complicated crochet techniques and information about subjects such as crochet around the world. Both boys and girl are shown enjoying the craft. Ilene Cooper

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book but limited, September 27, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kids Crochet: Projects for Kids of All Ages (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book for learning how to crochet, but keep in mind that it does not cover half double crochet, double crochet and the taller stitches. It covers several variations of single crochet, both increases and decreases, as well as providing ample illustrations for all of the techniques. I understand why they limited it, as they would have had an enormous book if they covered every aspect of crochet in the same level of detail. Still, it might be confusing for those who learn from the book when they're confronted with patterns that list hdc, dc, tr, dtr or trtr among the stitches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful beginner's crochet book, January 10, 2007
This review is from: Kids Crochet: Projects for Kids of All Ages (Hardcover)
I'm a 28 year old mother who is a beginner at crochet. This book may be geared towards children, but I can't help but be grateful for the simplicity of the instructions. It only teaches the single crochet, but that's great for a beginner like me. With the single crochet, I will learn how to make ribbing, change colors, crochet in the round and increase and decrease. The best part of the book is the wonderful projects! With this book as my guide, I will be able to make ribbed scarves, circular pillows, dolls, an afgan made with triangles (sooo cute!) and even a sweater, just to name a few. The book is beautiful. It reminds me of my Martha Stewart kid's magazine. If you're a beginner, no matter what your age, this book will serve to keep you hooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute book!!!, July 19, 2005
This review is from: Kids Crochet: Projects for Kids of All Ages (Hardcover)
I'm actually a knitter, so this is my first crochet book. If you're just learning to crochet, this book gives excellent detailed step-by-step instructions. Most of the patterns are made to fit children from around 8-14years, but there are also super cute patterns like pillow covers and bags. I absolutely love this book!!!
