I have a super fun book review for you today crocheters!   I was recently able to check out Crochet Rugs For Kids<\/a> by Kristi Simpson (ISBN: 978-1464768071<\/span>, Leisure Arts).<\/span><\/p>\n

Crochet Rugs For Kids<\/a> is a fun book that includes a collection of crochet rugs like penguin, owl, rocket, cow, and more!  Perfect for kid’s rooms, playroom, classroom, etc!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite things about the book is the variety of techniques and “looks” for each rug.  There are joined <\/span>motifs, lacy rugs, and more solid graphic rugs too!  How cute is this rocket ship?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Every project in the book is beautifully photographed in full color and includes multiple angles of each piece, as well as close ups of special stitches or edgings.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Each pattern contains a shopping list, gauge information, complete sizing information, and a clear, easy to read written pattern.  Need help finding a particular yarn?  Be sure to check out the “Yarn Information” section on the last page that includes specific brands and what colors were used…so helpful!<\/span><\/p>\n
