Customer Reviews

Rowan-based products, but stitches are in UK terms
Lovely outfits, accessories and playthings for babies and very young children. Happily, it uses British stitch names. However, like many British crochet books, it relies entirely upon Rowan yarns and my one quibble with this is that Rowan keeps changing their yarns and yarn names, making reproducing these items in the future quite difficult. Buy it now, and make sure you immediately stock up on the Rowan yarns it requires before they change yarn names again. (and not just the colour names, either)

Cute projects but not so great if you are new to crochet
I have made a couple of things from this book now - I am quite new to crochet and I liked the look of the instructions at the beginning of this book however I have found them rather inadequate as I have tried to work on the projects and had to turn to the internet for help and am looking at getting another book with more detailed instructions. That said the projects I have completed have worked out well.
