"Library Journal ""Accomplished crafter Scales introduces an adorable amigurumi idea: cozies for chocolate pieces. With three different sizes that can be used as covers for candies or chocolate treats, these projects are cute gift ideas, and they don’t have to be used for their intended purposes. Still, some crafters may find this subject to be a bit niche. A helpful introductory section of the stitches that will be used, plus a convenient grid to differentiate between U.S. and UK terms, are included with tips on how to fasten off and finish the projects. Each pattern includes a close-up photo of the finished item that’s positioned right next to the size and piece of candy that it can cover. The patterns are detailed and contain additional information about the embroidery stitches crafters can do to create extra details such as mouths or faces.  VERDICT A well-structured title filled with detailed instructions and photos. The book’s projects would make cute gifts, but its focus may be a little too narrow for some collections."""

A lovely book with easy to follow patterns that are great small projects to make as gifts. A great way to personalize a chocolate orange or a small chocolate treat. I loved the little mouse and I am sure it will delight a few recipients young and old. -- Mandy Horton * Customer Review * So thrilled with this book, it is very creative and the instructions are really clear. There are so many different projects to make. I can't wait to get started! -- Jane Golding * Customer Review * Firstly, I’m new to crochet but I loved this book so much I bought two more copies for friends who like me are new to crochet. It’s packed with beautiful cute small items that could be crocheted as gifts or possibly charity makes. The instructions are clear and easy and are completed quickly. As the projects only use small amounts of yarn I would say they are very affordable to make. I have already made the pig and the cupcake. The stitches were easy and I certainly improved my knowledge and confidence. Off to try another now. I’m addicted! -- Susan Fairhurst-Blakey * Customer Review * This collection of chocolate cozies provides a super-cute wrapping for edible gifts, including Christmas-appropriate patterns for a festive penguin, a ballerina mouse and a snowman, along with other novelties such as a cactus, octopus, spaceship and cupcake. These clever designs are for chocolate treats in a variety of shapes and sizes, including orange-sized chocolate products, tiny covers for bite-sized goodies such as truffles, and chocolate egg-sized cozies too.  -- Inside Crochet * Issue 163 *
