We all crochet for our own, personal reasons, but one of the most universal must be to wrap ourselves and those we love in warm, cosy stitches we've woven together by hand. And there's something extra-special about baby makes, welcoming a new person into the world with stitch after stitch of love and care. Whether you have your own new arrival to hook for, or a friend or family member to gift, this collection of 20 designs is sure to have the pattern for you.There's something for every taste, too, and to keep you from getting bored as you get to work, with a variety of different stitch patterns to choose from. From the striking texture of the delicate Sweet Pea Blanket to the sampler style of the Candy Lane Blankie, the adorable colours of the Baby Delight design to the self-striping pastels of Canterbury Bells, there's so much to choose from, and each design will be easy to adapt to suit the colours of your nursery if desired. And we love the Asher Log Cabin pattern, worked centre-out for a striking finish.There are gorgeous colour photographs of each design (plus accompanying cute babies!) and a clear photographic guide to the stitches. A real treat of a collection.
