Library Journal
This title is chock-full of adorable baby patterns designed by Rawlinson. Readers may recognize her name from Ravelry, the yarn and pattern database for knitters and crocheters, and by her signature pastel palette. With inspiring photography, the patterns will make crocheters want to start creating immediately. Patterns are grouped into six bundles with a mix of small and full-sized blankets, garlands, hats, mittens, pillow designs, and more. The bundles can be mixed and matched to create custom gifts. The designs are not for beginners per se, yet are elegant in their simplicity.
VERDICT Although the designs are beautiful and the patterns well written, one drawback is that the book is written in UK crochet terms that may be confusing for those who are used to American crochet ones, but there is a conversion chart. On the plus side, the blanket border instructions are written without a stitch count to allow for differing tensions. An illustrated techniques section is also included.
