Lark Books, 2005
Staple For Any Collection
This is one of the greatest books around for child crochet. I love the fact that the patterns range from newborn to 2T for most patterns. It is so hard to find cute patterns for newborns, most books start sizing at 6months. All the clothes are made with a DK or baby sport weight yarn but they ...

Crochet does believe in high fashion
+ NOT YOUR TYPICAL PATTERNS + Yet another gorgeous book from Teva Durham
This is a beautiful book full of exciting high fashion designs for folks who would crochet more if there was more worth making. Warning this is a book for creatives if plain chunky sweaters made of common yarns are your thing you may find it too over the top.

Don't be put off by the Reader's Digest title!

Modern crocheters need not shy away from this title simply because it was published by the not-so-hip Reader's Digest. This book contains many really cute designs, especially for kids. I just made the cover sweater for my son and it turned out beautifully (not at all chunky and awkward like so ...
