Book Reviews of Kids Crochet: Projects for Kids of All Ages
Book Review: Sort of helpful, but not really for kids.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book because I wanted to learn to crochet, and I wanted an easy way to learn. While the instructions are somewhat straightforward, I would have liked clearer diagrams of more of the steps. I managed to get the hang of single crochet, but beyond that I'm lost. The instructions for starting circular crochet were not clear enough, and I wasn't able to follow them. I asked my mother, who knows how to crochet, and she said those particular instructions weren't that great. It's a good thing I know someone who knows what they're doing; this book certainly didn't answer my questions!
While the projects are cute, I question whether they are really feasible for kids. I'm a literate adult, and I had trouble following some of the directions. I would be afraid that a child would just become frustrated. If the child has someone knowledgeable about crochet to help them, then it would probably be all right. But if the book and yarn are just given to the kid without any guidance, I can foresee problems.
