Crochet Rugs by Ira Rott is exactly what you would expect. The quality of the rugs and pillows is second to none. They are perfect for the nursery or toddler. My favorite is the monkey with the elephant following close behind. I bought the elephant rug and pillow pattern when she first sold them, and I was thrilled with the results. Her patterns are easy to read and follow. Any crocheter can make her patterns. It's one of the rare times that what I made actually looks like what the author made for the pictures. This book has beautiful pictures of each pattern. This book is an excellent value for the number of patterns you get, because I paid around $5 or $6 just for the one pattern. It was well worth the money. I hope she continues to write such brilliant patterns.
