This colorful guide presents twenty sweet and simple-to-make yarn creatures for crafters young and old. Each animal is assembled using several basic crochet stitches-stitches even beginners can easily master-and the results, from a winsome little lamb to a wide-eyed lemur, make for delightful yarn friends.

Cindy Crandall-Frazier brings to light an easy-to-understand approach to single crochet for the first-time crocheter or someone looking to expand their skills. Included is a faster way to make a slip knot and a verse to remember it. Then learn to finger crochet chains. I love that there are sooo many single crochet projects and the majority are child oriented. Make a pompom doll, bean bag, child's scarf and hat, potholder, purse/bag, embroidered ski band, cat mat, bib, bow tie, cozy scarf, baby cap, sheep, box, soap scrap bag, tube topper, shining ornament, baby sweater tee, knotty hat, mittens, and vest. Bonus project is a hook roll sewn from cloth napkins to store your tools! Ages 7 to adult.
