I pre order any crochet and knit books from Amazon. Sometimes the books are months away from publication when I order and I forget all about them as I did with this book. It was a nice surprise when the postman delivered it this morning.
It is Baby Blueprint Crochet by Robyn Chachula. I have not had chance to read the book yet but thought that I would share it's contents with you. One main reason that I like this book is that the crochet is close stitches whereas a lot of crochet is very lacy and openwork. The boy patterns in this book are ones that I would crochet as they are quite 'manly' in their design and stitch.
There is also a crochet diaper cover that I have forgotten to take a photo off.
I think that my favourite has to be the cover jacket.The title of the book is a bit misleading as the sizes go up to a toddler size 26/28" chest and the designs are more for a slightly older baby rather than a newborn.
As there are so many photos I will limit my words today. I have finished the back of my Sister in Law's sweater but still have a lot to crochet before it is finished.
Thanks for sharing those lovely patterns with us Jan. I can see that you will be making quite a lot of them. It makes a change to see some boy patterns that are suitable for boys. Can't wait to see your finished crochet work, as it is sure to be lovely as usual.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking I need to get this book. I have said before that I have no babies to crochet for, but so many of these look like they could be adapted into other patterns.
