Summary: A Wonderful Book!
Comment: I just received this pattern book, and I love it! I have been an avid crocheter for over 25 years and have seen lots of books. This one is well worth the price.
Multiple pictures of each item helps you get a better idea of the entire project before you begin. I like that they show the project being worn by a cute kid as well as on its own. The materials list, patterns, and graphs are well written. Each pattern includes the stitches shown in symbols, a great way to see what are you going to do before you start work.
The only negative (my usual pet peeve) is that they tell you exactly what yarn they used in the project, not a general description what type/weight yarn would work. I would prefer pattern books to first list the weight and type of yarn plus what was used in the picture. I want all the information in case the yarn that was picked doesn't come in a color I'd want to use.
All in all, a great book and recommended.
Enjoy!

Summary: A RARE BOOK, Indeed
Comment: Wonderful children's clothes--if only there were more and for slightly older children...I have made 4 items (including the adorable cover dress), and I couldn't be more pleased with them. The patterns are easy to follow and they work up "professionally." My grandchildren love the clothing, and much of it can be made with Luster Sheen, an easy care yarn, as well as with cotton. My next project is the little bear on the cover as my granddaughter wants it to "go with" her dress.

Summary: Crochet for Babies and Toddlers - published in UK
Comment: The designs in this book use many new and wonderful specility yarns which bring an updated look to the traditional outfits. It was great to see cute boys clothes as well as girls clothes. The instructions include the pattern outline and dimensions which I find extremely helpful - these are not usually included in patterns from the US.
The only draw back on this book is that it calls for specific yarns by specific manufactures (which are not all available in the US). It does not give equivalent yarn weights, such as sport, worsted, baby, etc. to substitute. You can figure it out with a little math work - it does give stitch gauges.
The patterns are clearly written and easy to follow. The photography is wonderful. I recommend this book as inspirational and a must for a pattern library to make clothes for kids.
