First, I have been crocheting for about 40 years. PROS: This book has easy and intermediate patterns. It has pictures of completed projects, which is important to me. Instructions are well written. Any special stitches are explained before instructions are given. CONS: I did not like that the pictures of completed projects were of whole blankets. It would be an improvement (in my opinion) to also show a close up section of blanket too show details of pattern you are working to accomplish. OVERALL: I like this book and will be making some of these projects!
The first thing in the book is a list of links to Free Projects and Crafts. Yeah!! Can it get any better? Yes it can! With an all free crochet afghan pattern website and free newsletter ! Now to baby blankets. Here is one I would like to share. Lingering Over A Lullaby Blanket. It has a ruffled edge and beautiful baby in the picture. It is worked up using the shell and picot stitches. The skill level is easy. The finished work is 38 inches by 40 inches. It explains how to work the specialty stitches. Enjoy this and the other beautiful blankets to make and then share.
My mother taught me how to crochet when I was young but, like so many, I never picked up a crochet hook for years. When I did everything I tried was always out of shape and patterns seemed to hard to try, even the ones marked easy. I always lacked the confidence to try again but these patterns give me the desire to persist as I believe they are within my ability. They are lovely designs and I know that they will provide hours of happiness to the mothers and babies who use them. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for that book, pretty interesting to read. Honestly, if I would consider about getting a blanket for my baby, I would consider about getting plush blanket, cause it's the most comfortable material. Now I simply want to order gondola plush from Pixers. I've heard a lot of positive recommendations about this online resource, from different people who were ordering goods there.
I was excited to see baby blanket patterns that were unfamiliar to me, and also use easily accessible yarn brands. I only wish the pictures were a tad bit larger.
Great patterns & easy instructions. I’ve just started crocheting after not doing so in 20+ years. These patterns were easy to follow & the end results have turned out exactly as I wanted.
I just got finished reading the book and patterns to see if it's easy to understand and comprehend to successfully make every last blanket. It is and I love that.
I haven't made anything out of this book but the patterns are very well written and explanatory. There are 12 different patterns with pictures, material lists and descriptive patterns.
There are several patterns that make fun, custom blankets for gifts. I have a hard time sitting still so crochet and knitting are perfect. These are fairly easy patterns that produce beautiful results.
I was lucky enough to catch this for free, but I would say buying it for 99 cents would still be worth it. The patterns are cute, and the posters are readable.
By Dar, I see no problems, please show me where the pages are gone!!
I went through this book and looked, read the patterns and I did not see any pages missing, I wish you would show me where this is. This Book is made up of Red Heart Patterns and one All Free Crochet Blanket. I especially like that these are all together in one book, and I know what is in this book, as well, and I do not need to worry about having to go looking for a baby blanket when, I need one for someone's baby shower for instance. Also it is helpful that as you become better at crocheting, the patterns are there for that as well, so this is helpful in helping the person crocheting to then choose a blanket that is then a little bit more difficult. I think this is great. I do like the fact that there pictures of each blanket, and also that you have, easy blankets, beginner blankets, intermediate blankets, as well and I can not wait to make one. The pages seemed to me to be there and since one lady tells us that these blankets are on line, if, there is a problem then I shall be able to find the pattern with no problems don't you think?? Since they tell you in the book who they belong to. The blankets are as original as you chose to make them. So to the Author 4 cups of tea.
Easy patterns, but I'm still looking for what I want. This book does have some beautiful patterns.
I was looking for quick and easy patterns and this delivered them! Instructions were clear and easy to follow. It even tels you how long it should take to complete.
