My thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Crochet stories: Alice in wonderland
The good: the patterns are great. The page layout of the pattern pages are good. The Alice in Wonderland story is abridged but it works. I really like the mix of the two together.


The bad and the ugly. Let's talk about the pictures. They are horrible. The shadows are so big it makes everything look like an amateur publication. The only thing worse than the shadows is when the shadows are cut off. If it was once, okay maybe so it could fit on the page. But there are pages with nothing but one picture and the large shadow is chopped. FIX it before it's published.

This is a cute little craft book that gives clear instructions to be able to make different characters and accessories. I loved that you could read the story along side. the design is fresh and clean, however some of the photos could have been edited better.

Fantastic book. great ideas. will be buying this book and trying some of these myself

I know every time I read one of these crochet books I say that I am going to learn to crochet, but I truly thing this year is going to be my year. The latest book I read was all about the characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. In addition to the instructions on how to make the characters (which are ranked with skill levels like easy or intermediate so you know where to begin based on your skill level) there is also some excerpts of the book included as well. There are some really cute characters like the door mouse and the hedgehogs as well as your favorites like Alice, Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter. You can also make accessories for your tea party as well! All characters come with crochet instructions and how many to make as well as photos of the finished products.

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.

I do love this book! The illustrations are fantastic , instructions are well written , and I plan of making my 2 daughters all of the characters this summer :)

For "Alice in Wonderland" fans who like to crochet, this book was made for you. An abridgde version of the classic tale is included, interspersed between photographs of the book's characters in crocheted form. Each set of instructions includes a picture of the finished product and a list of materials needed. Instructions are graded as far as complexity. We liked the Dodo Bird and set of teacups the best. The Cheshire Cat looked a little anemic (sorry, but he did), especially in the legs. Nevertheless, four stars. Fun projects for a rainy afternoon.

This book has adorable, well written patterns to crochet. Skill levels are indicated for each pattern and there are helpful pictures as well.

As a child I think everyone gets introduced to Alice in Wonderland and the amazing story has every young child enchanted!

This book was kindly sent to me to review and I loved the way the book reads. Not just straight forward into pattern after pattern of each character, between each one pretty much is an excerpt of a scene from Alice in Wonderland. Enabling a family friendly like feel to the book as a whole.

The patterns are intricate and finely detailed. Characters are portrayed as alike as I personally feel possible to the ones drawn in the picture books and all are sure to have children engrossed in the classic tale that will share the magic of storytelling from generation to generation.

This is a cute book on Alice in Wonderland patterns and story. The story I could have done without as it seemed to be just filler. The patterns are really cute though. I like the fact that there is a big normal sized Alice and a smaller one from after she drinks the potion. There are lots of accessories to make along with the characters in the story. The patterns look very straightforward and fairly easy to do, an advanced beginner should be able to make these patterns.

We have a knitting and crochet club with little girl they will love this book when it cones out.

I have friends who are going to squeal when I get them this book! Huge fans of both textiles and Alice! Awesome projects! Some lucky child may find themselves with a complete collection of Alice in Wonderland stuffies! Great book! Great photos!

Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
Thanks to Dover Publications and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review Crochet Stories: Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland by Pat Olski. This book is a feast for crocheters and readers combined. The crocheted characters are introduced through excerpts from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and right after the story sections, comes the crochet projects' details. The key of crochet abbreviations is at the beginning of the book and each pattern uses these abbreviations. The detailed instructions give information on finished measurements, materials needed and the gauge of stitches per row and number of rows when complete. The colored photos of the finished products are too cute to not crochet! My favorite photo is of Alice, the dormouse, the Mad Hatter and the tea set - all crocheted pieces. The Queen and King are comically cute. The skill levels for crocheters are easy and intermediate. There are even patterns for a croquet card arch and a flamingo mallet. Adorable and fun! 5 stars!

The patterns are adorable and easy to follow. This book is sure to help yarn artists create some treasures!

This book is adorable and easier enough for most beginner crocheters to follow.

I'm not sure if it was for me as it feels almost too basic. There are more advanced / cuter Alice patterns out there. But if you want quick, easy, and clearly identifiable as Alice characters then these are perfect. Would probably be a really good way to add decorations for an Alice themed party. If you crocheted up a set they'd be a nice gift for Alice lovers.
