Mon Petit Violon Etsy brand owner Apala (Super Cute Crochet for Little Feet) presents beautiful, timeless projects that will make even non-crocheters drool. Patterns include rompers, sweaters, shrugs, cardigans, classic bonnets, blankets (with information on how to enlarge), hoodies, dresses, a set of socks, and a pair of trousers. They’re designed for children who wear sizes birth to four years, with sizes listed incrementally. Instructions for each size are formatted in parentheses or clearly labeled within the pattern text. While the patterns are intermediate, the book includes text and pictorial instructions for all stitches, making the title accessible for crocheters ready to advance. Each pattern has pictures corresponding with rows in the project. Making the projects even easier, most are worked from the top down. While some projects have ruffles and floral elements, others are easily made gender-neutral. The patterns have U.S. crochet terms listed first and imperial measurements listed in parentheses.
VERDICT An essential purchase. Crocheters will love this book and its classic designs.
