Baby Crochet: 20 Hand-Crochet Designs for Babies 0--24 Months

Crochet has gained popularity as more and more people are taking up this quick and easy alternative to knitting. Lois Daykin has created an ensemble of 20 wonderful designs for newborns and little toddlers in a fun-loving collection of garments and accessories, together with some cool ideas for decorating the nursery

You can chose from cute hat patterns and bootees, a scarf and a little wrap cardigan for infants to wear or pretty but practical bibs and bottle warmers. There are great ideas for the nursery, too, including strings of crochet hearts and a little rabbit diaper holder, along with some great toys, including a cat and a curly snake, and some big, soft crochet building blocks.

Simple, bright colors make crocheting for babies fun to do, and many of the projects can be done in a few hours, easy enough for even novices to make successfully.

The designs make great baby shower gifts, too. What better way to welcome a new arrival in the family than with a personalized hand-made gift?
