These are all so adorable. I’d probably make the cow first. I’d love a review on the Mosaic Crochet Workshop
These animals are so cute and come at a perfect time as my niece is just told me I’m going to be a great Aunt in the spring. I would love to make a afghan for her and the baby. Good Luck to All !
I would definitely make the Cow pattern from the book. I think you should review the Mosaic Crochet Workshop book.
This will be a nice gift for an avid crocheting friend!!
