Easy and uncomplicated patterns

This book has a nice variety of crochet patterns, updated, in style for babies. The instructions are clear and any one who can crochet can create one of the delightful pieces in the book. The pictures are a must see, and the authors choice in yarns is very tasteful. I made a pair of the Ugg Booties and was thrilled with the outcome.

Wonderful, easy-to-crochet clothing for babies

I have to say that the baby on the front cover sold this book to me. How can you resist those eyes? And I'm glad because if I hadn't bought it -- I'm a knitter, not a crocheter -- I'd have missed out on some wonderful, adorable baby clothes. My niece is due any day now, and I've been whipping up ponchos and silly hats, and booties like a mad person. These patterns are remarkably easy, and have a kind of goofy charm that just works with babies. If you have a baby to make clothes for and you're handy with yarn at all, even if you're not big on crochet, I suggest you take a look at this book. You can't fail to create memorable clothing items in almost no time at all with these patterns.

Very Cute for Babies

I love this book, since I am a new Grandma, this book has been open quite a bit lately. Even if you are not a Grandma, there are SEVERAL great patterns that any new baby would love to have.

Awesome designs

For those who want something fun to crochet for babies (without making the same old boring pastel stuff) - you have to check out this book...It's awesome! Candi's designs rock! It's my favorite and the most used book in my crochet library, and even as a beginner crocheter, I was able to make a number of items from her book without a problem!!! Totally fun and hip coats and sweaters, Ugg-style baby booties with a matching hat and jacket, crocheted dresses, even a kimono-styled dress and sweater set! Totally fun and worth every penny!

Lovely!

I just bought this book at my LYS and it is SO adorable! Very doable designs. Hip without all those garish colors and animal shapes that other knitting-for-kids books have. I think there was only one design that I did NOT want to do (which is a miracle for a book). This isn't really a how-to-crochet book though, so if you're looking to learn to crochet, you'll need a separate set of instructions (though there are brief instructions in the back). If you like knitting/crocheting for babies, this is a great addition to your collection.
