18 Crocheted Baby Garments, Blankets, Accessories, and More!
July 1, 2016
Zientara (It Girl Crochet) focuses on crochet for babies, including traditional items such as blankets, sweaters, hats, and booties, as well as quirky accessory patterns such as an amigurumi-style octopus rattle and a cleverly constructed, retrostyle burp cloth. The majority of the projects are unisex, and the focus is on wearability (for garments) and usability (for accessories)--there are no heirloom showpieces here, just cute, comfortable babywear. The simpler projects are ideal for beginners interested in trying out a new technique, while the more complex designs are suitable for experienced crocheters desiring a small-scale challenge. Written instructions, with sizes clearly marked, are provided for all projects; charts and schematics are included where useful. VERDICT A great collection for crocheters seeking stylish, comfortable clothing and accessories for babies and toddlers.
