I am an avid crocheter and I think this book is fantastic. Everything is in this book that a first time crocheter could easily be able to start these projects. I like how every step is explained and that you could always look back if you do not understand anything within the pattern. All the basics are there. Nice photos for each step of the patterns and the finished parts. I like that the parts show the extra yarn for sewing too because a lot of times I know from my own experiences that you easily forget to keep enough to sew the parts together. Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the advance ecopy.

Love this book of patterns. These patterns are so whimsical and cute. I want to make all of them but unfortunately have no youngsters to craft for at the moment. The pictures are lovely and I appreciate how they are used to show the different ways that the blankets can be folded and used. This is a wonderful book.

Easy to follow patterns. The formatting is really cute and engaging. The patterns are for all skill levels and I like how it tells you what skill level or difficulty is every pattern. I love that it has an introduction to amigurumi section, which tells you about the yarns, eyes, and other items you'd need for amigurumi. It also has QR codes that links to videos to help you on some patterns.

Loveys and Blankets is a well designed and photographed book with interesting crochet designs. The how to crochet step by step is well done and will give you a good start on crochet. I am not sure these designs are good for brand new beginners but once you practice the stitches they are very charming designs for baby gifts. Any parent would love to recieve one of these for their nursery. So cute!!!

I love this book! The patterns are fun and well written. They are easy to follow and enjoyable.. As a mom I will certainly be coming back to this book for all sorts of gifts. I plan to get a hard copy to have on hand!

Do I have kids in my life? No. Do I want to make almost all of these designs for myself because they're so cute? Absolutely! The blankets and loveys in this book are not only adorable, they're unique enough that you could make multiple without getting bored. The beginning of the book has lots of detailed instructions, so even relative beginners could follow along confidently. Ariana did a wonderful job making the same concept (a blanket with legs and a head) different enough each time to keep it interesting.

If you are a crocheter this is a very well written book for amigrumi loveys and blankets. Well designed and super cute final products.

These loveys are so cute. I made one to test the pattern and it will be the best baby shower gift. The pattern was easy to follow and all the instructions were clear.

Thank you #NetGalley for an ARC of this book. I'm obsessed!!

Amigurumi Loveys & Blankets is such a fun project book filled with adorable and inspiring ideas. Each pattern was a different animal and a different stitch with various degrees of skill levels. I love that you can mix and match the different loveys and blanket stitches with the different animal patterns. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who loves to crochet amigurumi looking to gift handmade baby gifts!

Amigurumi’s are such a great idea to make as baby gifts and this book is exactly what you need to get started. If you have a baby shower coming up and you want to bring something with a personal touch, you need this book.

This book is a knitters saving grace! It's very informative and easy to understand. It includes conversion charts and step by step/how to images; which are amazing.
There are so many beautiful blanket patterns. My favorite is the dragon, which I'm gonna try first.
In the past, I've done butterflies and simple knitting. But this book gives me the confidence I need to go ahead and try something new.

Thanks so much for creating such a complete guide.
I recommend it to everyone who loves knitting or are trying to improve and learn more like me.

So I did a read ahead so I could give my honest opinions before crocheting or that would be a while! However. This book is written so clearly with detailed patterns. I appreciate how the first few pages go over basic stitches and have accompanying pictures. The patterns are well written and from what I gather are easy to follow. The only thing I would have done different is add more detailed pictures of the steps throughout the book. I feel like there are more for explaining the stitches than the pattern itself. But the items are so cute! Cannot wait to make

This book had great instructions on how to crochet many different kinds of loveys and blankets for many different animals. I found it easy to read and to follow the patterns.

Cute patterns and nice despcriptions. It was easy to follow the pattern I tried (the giraffe). Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the free eARC in exchange for my honest opinions.

The instructions were clear and well written. I really appreciated that in the first section, there were multiple pictures for each stitch as you are brought through them step-by-step. The actual patterns themselves were super cute and creative with a variety of loveys to make outside the classic hexagon with a teddy bear head. Included throughout were QR codes that link to youtube tutorials for people who have an easier time following along a video or need extra support. This is a great book for someone who already has crochet skills, or someone who is just starting their journey.

This was such a lovely craft book. The blankets are adorable and very different. My favorite is the Giraffe and the ingenious way to fold it to make it hang on the crib as a beautiful decoration.

There are 7 blankets with 7 corresponding lovelies. All of them are probably intermediate beginner to intermediate skill level. One is very detailed but so beautiful.

There are full color diagrams and pictures to help you along the way. This book is a keeper..

Sixteen adorable projects to make—the hardest part will be deciding which one to choose first! The lovelies are so cute the way they can hang on baby’s crib! Love their faces too!
