Easy to read patterns for all skill levels

Crochet is one of the few crafty things I know how to do, and this book is full of cute animal patterns for rugs, bags, pillows, and blankets that would make great projects and gifts. The book also has a collection of skills and tips on crocheting, sewing, yarn selection, and project finishes, which makes this book super accessible to crochet beginners as well as seasoned crafters. I personally liked that the patterns included both the written pattern as well as the charts. I just think this book is well structured and has really adorable designs (see the elephant pillow!) I would love to make these for the kids in my life.
