Book Review – Crochet Animal Rugs

August 6, by Shellie Wilson. Leave a Comment

 

Vanessa Mooncie, Crocheted Animal Rugs

It has taken me some time but I have finally got around to reviewing this latest Crochet pattern book.

Following on from the success of last autumn’s Crocheted Dogs designer and author Vanessa Mooncie has crafted a wonderful new book featuring a collection of charming and whimsical crocheted rugs themed around loveable wild animals such as a crocodile, a rhino, a giraffe and several others. This book is a great guide for any crocheter looking to make something fun and friendly to brighten up a room and bring a smile to someone’s face.

These rugs look adorable in a nursery or baby’s room. I also think they would be cute for gift giving to new mums and dads who already have all the usual baby supplies.

I would love to see these crochet blankets in a  Jungle themed Nursery, they would just look amazing.

If you make something from this book, please pop back and tell us how it went.

Meantime check out their promo video for these crochet rugs

Bubbles the Turtle Lovey Crochet Pattern

I recently had the pleasure of working on the Bubbles the Turtle Lovey Crochet Pattern, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. This sweet and cuddly turtle is the perfect companion for any little one. His playful and energetic personality is sure to bring a smile to any child’s face, and his soft and snuggly body is perfect for cuddling and napping.

One of the things that I particularly loved about this pattern is that it is budget-friendly. You can use up your yarn scraps to create an adorable snuggle blanket that is both unique and special. The pattern calls for either DK-weight or worsted weight yarn and US sizes E/3.5 mm and G/4.25 mm crochet hooks, so you have plenty of options when it comes to choosing your materials. The finished size is 14 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ (DK-weight) or 15 3/4″ x 10 1/2″ (worsted), making it the perfect size for a little one to hold and cuddle.

But what exactly is a lovey, you might ask? A lovey is a small blanket or stuffed animal that a child becomes attached to and uses for comfort and security. They are often used as a transitional object to help a child feel safe and secure when away from their primary caregivers. Loveys can be an especially helpful tool for children who are anxious or going through a major life change, such as starting daycare or moving to a new home.

In short, I highly recommend the Bubbles the Turtle Lovey Crochet Pattern. It’s a fun and budget-friendly project that is sure to bring joy and comfort to any little one. Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just starting out.
