Customer Reviews
Book should be Crochet for Girls
I was dissappointed but not surprised that there were only 2 - 3 patterns for boys and the rest were for girls. The patterns for GIRLS are ok. If you can , please try to get a look at the inside before you purchase.
Not alot of boy patterns
This should be really called Crochet for Girls, although the patterns for the girls are really cute I thought there would be more boy patterns, there are only few in this book.
Good for BOTH sexes.
Two or three boy patterns? Nonsense. There may be only four patterns with obviously male models, but many of the baby patterns are on models of indeterminate gender, and if you add in patterns that are either obviously unisex or could be made so with an altered color scheme, there are about an even dozen that can be boys' clothes. Twelve out of 22 might not sound like a lot, but crochet patterns tend to be skewed towards females to begin with. Many of the patterns are quite unique, in a sweet-old-fashioned sort of way (who can't love a crocheted coonskin cap?). The only complaint I have is that some of the patterns are needlessly complicated. There's a lovely dress, for instance, that calls for a D hook & has you making the sleeves separately and then sewing them on. Using the included schematics, I was able to make a lookalike dress with a G hook and crocheted-in-place sleeves. Overall, though, it is very worth the price if you're looking for something different. And don't let the title fool you, there is much more to the book than just sweaters.
