An excellent book for "hookers" of any skill level. The patterns are varied, easy to follow and provide a cross section of use. It's an excellent gift for anyone, including yourself.

A lovely crochet baby pattern book, with clear instructions. I found the guidance on Stiches very useful, particularly the pictures to crochet around a post wich I have never done before.
Simple to follow patterns.

I requested this because I have a baby on the way and recently started crochet. I love the patterns inside and find them easy to understand and follow.

Great crochet patterns! These are written simply enough that a beginner should be able to follow them fairly easily, but I don’t think an advanced crocheter would be bored either.

This is a nice crochet book with baby items. The patterns look like a mix of beginner and intermediate. I liked that the patterns provided pattern variations for different ages.

Great crochet patterns -- easy to follow, lots of instruction in the back of the book. Adorable baby items in a variety of forms. Such cute booties, beanies, blankets, and more.

Easy clear pattern instructions with lovely photos of the finished items. The book has cute clothes sets such as hats, vests and socks. There are a range of items such as adorable bibs, sweaters, headbands, leggings and blankets. The instructions clearly state how to change colour. A chart for the weight of the yarn and hook size are included towards the back of the book - very useful for easy reference. I also like how the guide to the stitches and how to read the patterns are towards the back of the book, so you do not have to go past all the pages to get to the patterns. A lovely book for baby set clothes patterns.

Thank you Globe Pequot, Stackpole Books, and NetGalley for the advanced electronic review copy of this wonderful book. This book of adorable baby sets (blanket, hat, booties, sweaters) is great for beginners and avid crocheters alike. Easy, well written, clear to follow instructions and beautiful illustrations of the finished pieces makes it a great addition/gift for any crafter. Highly recommend!

If you need to crochet some baby sets as gifts or for your own baby, this book is really cool, with nice photos as well as step by step guide. I am not a beginner but I think even a beginner could follow patterns from this book.

Thanks to Netgalley and Globe Pequot for access to this arc in exchange for my honest review

To be honest, no matter what type of crochet book I'm reviewing (whether it be specifically baby sets, amigurumi, home items, etc.) what I think about most is "is there anything special about this book?" AKA is there anything in this book that is different and makes it stand apart from the 9534023849238908 other crochet books out there.

To be honest, I didn't find that with this one. There are a bunch of basic sets, which is cute, but I found that I wasn't super impressed by the patterns. I think one thing that could've helped some of these patterns stand out more is if they had used more neutral (aka single colored) yarn that showed off the stitches and differences between the patterns more. I also think they could've benefitted from using even like a baby doll/mannequin to show off the items as opposed to only flat-lays. It's hard to get excited by a project without seeing what it looks like on.

I did like that the beginner/basic info is at the end of the book, so that the information is all there, but if you are a more experienced crocheter, you don't have to flip through a bunch of stuff that isn't relevant for your makes.

All in all, unless you are a beginner, I'd say this one is okay to skip. I didn't find anything in it that was super fun or that I was dying to make.

I’m a beginner on my crochet journey and the book is a big help. The way the patterns are described is really informative and easy to apply. Some pieces are an absolute delight, very creative and cute.

Totally recommend the book.

I’m an avid crocheter, I’ve seen a lot of poorly and well written patterns. This book has well written patterns with enough instruction for beginners to have a go too. It’s well presented and the baby sets are cute! Nicely done.

Even if you have no need to baby clothes, get this book! The patterns in this are perfect. Cute blankets. Socks, hats, and outfits that are classics and will be in style for years to come. If you understand how to modify patterns, some of these outfits could even be made for dolls. Great detailed pictures and easy to read patterns, even for beginners. You never know when you may way to gift baby clothes, or even for yourself. Great book to add to your collection of patterns
