Book Review – Simply Sweet Crochet

June 1, 2014 by jd wolfe Leave a Comment

Simply Sweet Crochet is the perfect name for this book! All the designs are for lovely little girls – and will have you wanting to whip up some of them right away. Author Cony Larsen has created a collection of head coverings and scarves for the little ones that are all just simply sweet. The finished items look far more complex than they are, assuring that even beginners will be able to successfully reproduce them.

The Spring Headband is inspired! Any little girl (and maybe her mom) will want to have one of these pretty flowered things. The PomPom Cowl and Scarf are favorites of mine. These are truly plush pompoms, making them highly touchable. Cony’s hearts, pompoms, and flowers are all very full and lush. You’ll be pleased to make them and your little ones will be thrilled to wear them.

There are 18 patterns in the book and lots of mixing and matching is possible for embellishment, resulting in more than the 18 original designs. These are fresh, stylish, and easy enough for any crocheter.
