Reviews
This no-frills outing by crocheter Simpson (Supersize Crochet Animals) shows how to crochet blankets that any infant will want to cuddle with... Crocheters who have mastered the basics will get the most out of this.
"""In just 32 pages, this book contains 13 beautiful baby blanket designs, well-written patterns and adorable photos of the blankets being used by the cutest little ones. It's a must-have for crocheters--baby blankets are one of the best gifts to give and these are guaranteed to be favorites! These blankets are made with modern colors that match any nursery and soft yarn. Each blanket is made with a different technique too, so you aren't going to get bored or end up making the same thing over and over again (unless you want to). The majority of the blankets in this book are also ranked as Easy patterns, so this is a great book for someone that's newer to the craft AND for those crocheters that enjoy working on easier projects. There are repetitive blankets, color-blocked blankets, and even stitch sampler blankets in this book. Stitch samplers are always a favorite, so those are the ones I plan on stitching first! Kristi has released several crochet books now, such as Supersize Crochet Animals, Ultimate Crochet Nursery, Adorable Baby Crochet and Baby Hats to Crochet, and this book is an incredible addition to her collection. You have to check it out!"" --Tara Orchard, Editor of Crochet!
