Timeless Textured Baby Crochet
The Timeless Textured Baby Crochet book is beautiful from cover to cover. The paper the patterns are written on, the colors used, the clear and detailed photographs, the written text and the patterns themselves.
When you pick up a copy of Timeless Textured Baby Crochet you will find very important information included on pages 6 and 7 that I recommend you take the time to read.
The yarns you use for these projects will make a difference in how the finished baby items turn out. So be sure to read up on the yarn and yarn recommendations included on page 6.
On page 7, there is a special note about some of the Crochet Techniques used for these patterns. One example is how Vita pulls her initial chain to the height of a hdc or dc, to work the first stitch; instead of chaining 2 or 3 stitches to begin.
The patterns are written in US Crochet Terms and multiple sizes for each of the designs are included (except for the blanket). Sizes range from 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-2 years, 3-4 years, 12-18 months and 18-24 months.
You will find the Abbreviations for each of the stitches listed on page 7.

I just love this book, the patterns are adorable. I am hoping to have grandchildren in the future and these patterns would be perfect.
Such cute patterns. If I had a baby in my life, Id’ make the Harvest Cardigan.
Hi! Thanks for the review of this beautiful book. I particularly like the harvest cardigan that I would crochet first. Fingers crossed for the giveaway…
I love the patterns that are more challenging. The dresses are beautiful and the angel romper looks like a very challenging pattern. I love making baby shower gifts, they are always a hit!
Though I don’t have a grandchild YET, I’ve already started a couple of little things for the future!
This book would be a great addition to my library; I hope I win!
