Congratulations, Veronique!
Alla Koval is a crochet and knitting designer who focuses on kids, and she recently released two pattern books full of crochet projects for girls ages 2 to 12. Imagical Seasons (the name is a combination of imagination and magical) books are collections for the seasons.
So far spring and summer have been released, with fall and winter on the way.
Koval describes her projects as “happy-fashion,” and they’re sure to delight the frilly, girly, fun children you know.
The spring book has 10 patterns including two blankets, a shawl, a cowl, bolero, headband, cuffs and a top. I love the colorful Tutti Frutti blanket and the fun ice cream amigurumi.
The summer book features eight patterns: a dress, top, poncho, coverup, beaie, blanket and a square motif that could be used to cover a pillow or make a patchwork blanket. My favorite here is the Petalline dress, a strappy halter top with an empire waist and asymmetrical hem (it’s pictured on the cover).
The projects are both written and charted, so the books are great for helping you learn to read charts if that’s a skill you haven’t yet picked up.
You can check out the books (spring and summer) on Ravelry, or learn more about Koval on her website, My Little CityGirl.

Thanks for sharing these books with us. The patterns look really amazing. I have two nieces that I make things for all of the time. I would love to see what Alla comes out with for a boys line, as I have a little by myself. Thanks for the chance to win and sharing these books with us!
My girls are all grown up, but I do have a 6 month old grand-niece that would look so cute in some pretty crocheted clothing! 🙂
Between my 4 Great Nieces, and my close Friend’s Granddaughters, along with my God Daughter, my needles would sure be hopping with the patterns from this book!! They run from infants to pre-teens, so I’m sure I’d be able to find something to make them smile and look cute at the same time!! Thank you for the terrific and helpful giveaway!!
Thanks so much for sharing this book. I hadn’t heard about it before. These look like really great projects to make for my 3 and 1 year old nieces. Thanks for the chance to win!
