I am obsessed with crocheting. I’ve been doing it for years and have even taught classes. I absolutely love her creativity and attention to detail. Each pattern has directions that are thorough and precise. They are easy to follow. I love the pictures to show or demonstrate each stitch. This book would be good for and intermediate/experienced crocheted with basic knowledge of stitches. I can’t wait to make the giraffe. I have wanted to find animal rug patterns that I loved and here I have found it. The panda pillow is also adorable. Any of these designs would make an amazing gift for a child. The cover of the book gives you a glimpse of the cuteness within. Because of the hard work that this author has dedicated to the patterns and creating a book, this book is totally worth the price!
