Review #1

Boy Patterns are in here !!!!!!

I am thrilled with this book finally some boy patterns that don't look girly. I am working on hats right now for my 7 year old. Thank You




Review #2

Very cute designs, but incredibly limited sizes

I just got this book; because the subtitle said "...0-7 year olds", I assumed it would be a great resource. However, most of the patterns are for one size only, or for a limited size range. The adorable duck, teddy, and mouse caps include instructions only for up to sizes 9 or 12 months. And the patterns for bigger kids often have just one size, like 2 years for the 'Peruvian Hat' or 5-7 years for the 'Diamond Pattern Crochet Hat'. If you're not experienced enough to resize the patterns (I'm not), then think twice before getting this book.

I couldn't find much about what was included in this book before I bought it, so here's the index for those who may be considering this book:

Striped 'Wee Willie Winkie' hat, socks, teddy bear
