"Every baby is special and deserving of projects made with love". Candi Jensen
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything about this book! I love the photos, the cute designs, the layout, easy-to-read schematics and the font used for the text!
Crochet In A Day For Baby contains 20 ADORABLE quick and easy baby projects that can be made in a day or weekend.
The projects are broken down into categories as follows: Cardigans (3), Vests 2, Blankets (3), Hats (2), Booties (3), Mitts (3) and EXTRAS for baby (5).
The book has fun stitch combinations and a lovely muted color palette, but of course, you can use any color combinations you wish! Almost ALL of the designs use #4 worsted weight yarn (bib and hanger covers use #3 light worsted weight) and I can envision the wearables in this book made with Wool for winter OR Cotton for summer, to make them even more versatile!
Some of the designs are similar, starting with a basic pattern and then showing us how to embellish the item differently to make it uniquely yours!
For those crocheters who have never made a garment before and are reluctant to, the projects in this book would be perfect to begin with! Each design would be appropriate for gifts and many of them could be considered quick for last minute gifts as well!
Lately I have been designing a lot of baby accessory items for my newborn photographer daughter, Gina and also baby crochet patterns for Too Cute Crochet, my Etsy shop. So, I really enjoy browsing through a GOOD crochet pattern baby book.
Below are photos of some of my favorites designs from the book! Which is your favorite?

I would love to win as I am now at the age that it seems like every month another friend is finding out they are expecting! Which means lots of shower gifts to be made! I'd also live to win because I agree with you, starting with small garments may just be the jumping off point I need to work up the courage to make myself a garment.
I love making items for my little one - thanks for the chance to win!
Daughter is expecting her first child in December...would love to make some of these before then!!! Thanks for this opportunity to win!!!

What a great-looking book; cute patterns! I knit and crochet a lot for charity and my grandkids, and this would be a wonderful addition to my library.
Baby items are so much fun to make and give! I make items for our local hospitals for newborns and also make gifts for baby showers. These would be great!
I am always looking for different patterns and stitch combinations for baby projects. I crochet blankets and little baby caps for gifts all of the time and would love to begin to crochet some other baby garments and gifts. This book looks like the perfect resource for me!!

I would love to win this book. I love to crochet. And since I have to search the web for patterns I would love to have a book of my own. I am on disability and I have to save my money for yarn. I have 4 children who have given me 8 beautiful grandchildren and one on the way. The patterns in this book are lovely and I would love to crochet them. I hope you pick me to win the book.

I would love to have this book as there is nothing I enjoy more than making baby things!

My Mum was a knitter. I grew up watching her knit baby and children's items daily. When she had a medium sized box filled, she would send it off to be distributed to those in need. She did this for over 25 years. I crochet and have just started making items to donate, as my Mum did. This is a lively book and has patterns which would allow me to quickly make things that other so desperately need. It would help me continue my Mum's cause.
Thanks for the chance to win! I would love to have this book because I have a new niece and I LOVE to make things for her! I am always looking for something cute to work up for her, and one day my own children.-kateyhbf@gmail.com
