Pretty useless unless you want the pixel charts for the shown blankets (all are square blankets). Better instructions in Shrimpton's MODERN CROCHET BIBLE for this technique, or YouTube videos.

LOL. I placed a hold on the book based on the cover. I did not realize it was only 20 pages. A very helpful and fun 20 pages. The colorful and large pattern grids are clear and easy to read/follow. I can adapt the grid designs for knitting. Very nice crochet guide.

Simple

Seams simple enough. I have done corner to corner before just not with animals. I can't wait to try them all.

There's just a few pattern graphs here, but they're cute. The c2c instructions were very nearly photographed and easy to follow. Saving so I can make the "Sweet Dreams" blanket in the future.

-4 stars? hard to rate such a slim little book with so few patterns.

5 designs. four animals, diagonal stripes, a sheep, a snowman, and sweet dreams with moon and stars.

Great for beginners to C2C

Going through this book, instructions are clear and concise. All the patterns are geared to beginners, but would appeal to all levels of experience.
