Sweet & Simple Baby Crochet

By Kristi Simpson

If there were nothing else in this book besides adorable photographs of babies, it would be well worth the price. But lucky for you there is much much more: a bonus of thirty-five adorable and unique pattern designs for baby-wear!

Large, colorful photographs of the projects worn by precious children add to the allure of the book, but in addition, concise step-by-step photos throughout are ideal for beginners. Throughout the book a wide range of readily available yarns are used in the designs. This is another great way for beginners to learn about yarns as they learn to crochet.  These are not your run of the mill baby patterns. Because Kristi uses fun colors and mixes different stitches, there are unexpected surprises such as the Mossy Baby Pod, Fruit Punch Hat and Football cocoon!

Kristi is one busy lady and brings a wealth of experience to this, her latest book. She is the creative force behind RAKJ patterns. Her fresh modern crochet designs have sold more than 100,000 copies through her online presence at Etsy.  She is the founder and publisher of Inspired Crochet, a digitalmagazine. On top of all this she has five children including a set of twins!

This brand new book was published by Stackpole Books and is available for the retail price of $19.95. You can purchase Kristi's book here.
