Crocheting
Clothes Kids Love is every grandmother’s dream: a go-to resource for
best-dressed grand-kids! What fun! I have
already added several from the twenty-eight featured projects to my To-Do list. When my heart skips a beat and I go right to my stash to
pick yarn and get started on one of its projects, I know I love a book! That’s the case with
this book and I’ve already started on the quick and adorable daisy head band from the headband trio of designs, for Chloe!

This book
written by two talented designers is full of colorful photography and fashion-forward
instructions to make garments and accessories for school-age kids. New
crocheters: don’t be intimidated! You will find lots of helpful information
that makes it easy to follow along. Imagine the positive feedback you’ll
receive when your very first attempt yields unique and fashionable results. You’ll
surely become a lifelong crocheter!
Designed for
use with a variety of yarn types, the patterns list the yarn requirements
generically which encourages the crocheter to add a personal signature of creativity to
the projects. Included are sweaters, vests, a capelet, a dress & skirt, tank
top and slipper in styles kids are certain to love plus a variety of
accessories.
