Beautiful baby blankets & matching gifts by Sue Rawlinson
New baby on the way? What better time than to crochet a beautiful matching gift set for the precious little one?
Sue Rawlinson of 'Sweetpea Family Crochet' has designed six beautiful coordinated bundles for every occasion, from bringing the baby home to that all-important first outing. Each bundle includes a baby blanket plus two or three other gifts such as a soft bunny to cuddle, a pretty garland to hang, a baby bear comforter, a hot water bottle cosy and snuggly mittens for a newborn or age 03 months. There are 25 projects in total, so you are spoilt for choice, and each gift set is worked in coordinated colourways and styles.
Along with illustrated crochet techniques, there are also suggestions for gifting and finishing touches such as crocheted ties to keep your blanket folded when you give it as a gift. The blanket ties can be embellished with mini pompoms, crochet hearts or crochet flowers.
Many of the smaller projects such as cosy beanie hats can be finished in an evening, so they are satisfying to make and even more satisfying to give away. With pastel shades, simple designs and soft textures, parents, grandparents and friends will be reaching for their crochet hooks to make gorgeous handmade items for their bundle of joy.

For anyone who loves crocheting for babies this book is a must buy and is guaranteed to quickly become your 'go to' book.
Beautifully photographed with easy to follow instructions throughout. There are 25 projects, and each is grouped into one of six 'baby bundles', although every individual project also makes a standalone gift. Each bundle includes a blanket with two additional complimentary smaller projects. The pattern difficulty is clearly shown for each pattern so there is something to suit every ability.
The only downside is deciding which project to make first!
I absolutely love this book, I have made several items by Sue Rawlinson and each of them have been lovely to make, the book has something for everyone, beautiful photos, and easy to read instructions. Please Sue, write another one!
This is such a lovely book full of beautiful items to crochet. Ive made many of Sues creations and this book does not disappoint. It is beautifully presented with easy to read instructions. Even a beginner could make lots of the items. Cant wait to start crocheting!
A treasure trove of adorable gift projects inspired by the pieces the author crocheted for her own three daughters, this is a beautiful collection of contemporary baby patterns. You'll find a range of blanket designs along with small toys, nursery décor and accessories that can be made individually or combined to create a bundle of coordinated gifts. Quick-hook accessories include baby bobble hats, bootees and mittens, while the cute first toys will be hard to resist!
New baby on the way? What better time to crochet! The six bundles include a baby blanket plus two or three small gifts such as a bunny, garland and mittens for a new-born or age three months. The 25 projects have coordinated colourways and small items can be finished in an evening
