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!

I am a beginner of the crochet world so I am extremely happy I got to look at this book! I am excited to work on Foxy the Fox Lovey for a friend. My daughter was born in December so I may try to make her the Christmas Reindeer Blanket!! So many wonderful options I can't wait to try!

I was immediately drawn in by the frog prince lovey on the cover of this book! I think loveys and blankets are a great baby shower gift. In this book, there is a very comprehensive section of general crochet information. It includes how to read a pattern, how to make many different stitches, and what materials are needed to start a project. I absolutely loved how detailed that section was. If only I had this book when I first started crocheting. At the beginning of every pattern, there were also QR codes that led to helpful videos for the specific pattern. I loved that addition because sometimes reading the words isn’t enough. My favorite projects in the book are the Ice Dragon and Prince Frog sets. I can’t wait to make something for the next baby shower I go to! I recommend this book to beginner and seasoned crocheters who love adorable projects.

I really liked how many pictures this book included, especially at the beginning, to show the steps.

I want to try to make some of the squares the blankets had. They can be a fun variation of granny squares.

What will I make first?
EVERYTHING is this book is adorable!! The author gave explicit directions and the pictures are very helpful. I like that she also gave different options for finishing the projects. I am an intermediate crocheter and the patterns are easy to read and follow for a beginner through advanced.
Many thanks to the author and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of the book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Easy to follow instructions. Will be posting my final project from this book within this next week, doing the Spotty the Giraffe Lovey.
One thing I absolutely loved was on this specific instructions was Round 13 specifying the exact spaces for the eye settings.
Most patterns I follow do not include this step. Can't wait to finish this pattern to show and promote this book.

Utterly adorable patterns that are very well-written and friendly for crafters of any skill level! The inclusion of a crib blanket and a woobie for each animal is quite sweet.
