Personal Review: Kids Crochet: Projects for Kids of All Ages by
Kelli Ronci
I borrowed this book and a few other kids crochet books from my local
library a few months back. By far this one was the best. At 26 with a few
moments of single crochet and endless chains from childhood, I was just
starting out and I couldn't read the adult pattern books so I got this one
instead. This one takes you from your first square to your first sweater. Its
amazingly clear and simple and has a good range of cute and practical
projects. I just love the snail and butterfly pillows and the cute cupcake
pincushion. If memory serves it will only tell you how to single crochet but it
has an abbreviation chart for those hoping to move up to the more adult
oriented patterns. It teaches shaping with increases and decreases, color
changing, I believe a brief mention of care and cleaning, blocking
technique and many other useful skills.There is also a list of websites and
charities. I will most likely eventually add this one to my library as it has
useful projects and will come in handy when I have children or need to
teach a friend crochet.
