Review

It's never too early to start planning for Christmas and with these fantastic new books from Search Press you can start small! Mini Christmas Knits and Mini Christmas Crochet each contain Twenty cute Christmas creations for crafters to make in preparation for the Christmas season. Ever considered knitting a Christmas pudding? Or Crocheting Rudolph? No? Well now you can! Customers can follow the books to the letter and make all of the projects included, or take advantage of the alternative suggestions and make creations of their own. Each project would be perfect as a gift for a little one, a table decoration or even to hang on your tree. These books are great for those looking for quick and easy designs, and priced at GBP4.99 can you afford not to?-Craft Business If you have already bought a copy of Sue Stratford's Twenty To Make Mini Christmas Knits, why not adorn your home with even more handcrafted decorations? These are all crocheted, and will ensure that you have the best-decorated tree, table and house in the neighbourhood! As long as you are a reasonably proficient crocheter and have lots of No 3 or No 5 crochet cotton (or fine 4 ply yarn) this book is sure to please. You can't learn how to crochet here but intermediate level crocheters shouldn't have too much trouble; you will need to be able to work in the round and stuff the items as you go along. Patterns feature traditional (in UK and US) written instructions with notes on materials, measurements and needles together with a page-sized illustration. This is a fun way to use up oddments of yarn (mostly 4 ply) in an environmentally friendly way and get into the festive mood during those long, dark evenings. This is not a book with two ideas for every pattern, rather you have just the one but they are rather detailed in many cases. Crochet delicate snowflakes, fun characters like a baby penguin, snowman, fairy and angel, craft napkin rings and a poinsettia decoration for that special parcel and make a set of festive coasters. The result will be twenty high quality pieces that are sure to last for years and won't break however boisterous your festivities become.-Myshelf.com Pierce (Crocheted Bears) shares patterns ranging from items that have appealed for decades (e.g., ornamental angels) to a cute amigurumi penguin. They definitely straddle the line separating intended kitsch and modern design sensibility. This wide range makes the book likely to appeal to a broad group of crafters. The patterns are written with an expectation that readers have a familiarity with pattern shorthand, though there is a stitch glossary and UK terms are included in parentheses. A good holiday supplement for crochet pattern books for advanced beginners and intermediate crocheters. Personal Favorites: The Baby Penguin makes a cute gift for a young child or even an adult into amigurumi figures. The resulting texture from the yarn used makes the Pine Cones ornament will be a pleaser on any Christmas tree, and the project can also be used in decor assemblies.-Library Journal USA Val Pierce is passionate about crochet, and it definitely shows in her latest book. It's full of fun designs to make your Christmas extra-special. Crochet your way through patterns for a Christmas tree, dove of peace, glimmering snowflake (embellished with pearl beads), Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, a cute baby penguin and much more. There's even a Christmas cracker - why not crochet one for everyone at the dinner table? You'll need a knowledge of basic crochet techniques to complete these projects (there are no step-by-step guides for general crochet stitches) but the projects are easy to make.-Knit Today (Mini Christmas Knits and Mini Christmas Crochet): You'll love these collections to knit or crochet ready for the festive season. Each book contains 20 different projects with alternative colour schemes. Full knitting or crochet instructions are given. There are plenty of ideas for ways of displaying the finished items and these mini projects will appeal to anyone wanting to use up oddments of yarn.-Machine Knitting Monthly

Product Description

Val Pierce has designed twenty different projects, including mini Christmas stockings, holly leaves, reindeer, a snowman, a robin, an egg cosy, a star, a Christmas pudding, gingerbread hearts, a mini Christmas sweater and much more. Full crochet instructions are provided, and each project is simply photographed so that the reader can see the design clearly, and also shown in a sumptuous styled photograph, showing the beautiful possibilities of the finished pieces. There are plenty of ideas for ways of displaying the projects. The mini knits will appeal to those looking for items they can knit up quickly, using up ends of yarn.

Crochet Decorations 6 Sep 2011
By Linda B
Format:Paperback
This book is full of great things to make and I think they will make cute little Christmas gifts or pretty additions to my Christmas tree. The instructions look clear and it is a nice touch that the conversion between American and UK terms is part of each pattern, so should help me not to forget and do the wrong stitch.

Super Cute !! 7 July 2011
Format:Paperback
This is just the cutest book, so many lovely little projects to make for Christmas decorations. I love the penguin, it would even make a great keyring, as would some of the other little projects. Would highly recommend.

By K. Platt TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Part of the Twenty to Make series, this little book contains ideas for the Christmas season. The twenty designs use metallic or cotton crochet yarns. You only need small amounts. Most of the designs are very desirable and fun to make and different to the companion knitted christmas book. Designs range from just under 5-10cm (under 2-4 inch) tall so take little time to crochet. There are the usual Christmas characters - snowmen, reindeer, angels in cute designs plus crackers, bells and snowflakes and so on for the Christmas tree. There are also ideas for the fridge, table and gift toppers - this is a good selection. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.
