The very best designs from Candi Jensen—author of perennial favorites Candy Tots, Candy Babies, and Candy Blankies—have now been anthologized in one volume! Jensen’s innovative patterns for cozy blankets, snuggly hats, and charming dresses have received updated yarn selections, but all the style is still there, along with something for knitters of every skill level. The cheerful favorites, featured in adorable full-color photographs, include a Preppy Preschooler outfit, Pastel Parfait hat and vest set, Princess-Pink cardigan, and Navajo Throw. A handy reference section covers everything from selecting yarns and determining gauge to reading charts and patterns.
This pattern book features 50 designs selected from Jensen's "Candy" series-specifically, Candy Tots: Unique Crochet for Babies & Toddlers, Candy Babies: Cute Crochet for Wee Ones, and Candy Blankies: Cuddly Crochet for Babies and Toddlers. It includes a sterling selection of designs suitable for even beginning crocheters and sized for children from three months to three years old. Most projects allow for alternative yarn choices, and there is great variety of designs for both girls and boys, everything from a granny square hat with ear flaps and matching vest to a stylish girl's coat with the trim at the cuffs and neck crocheted with a furry yarn. Libraries owning the original books may want to pass; public libraries that don't with demand for crochet projects for children can safely invest.
