Fairytale Blankets to Crochet: 10 fantasy-themed children's blankets for storytime cuddles Paperback – June 16, 2020

I will definitely be making a couple of these for my twin godson's, thinking the dragon and wolf, but it's hard to choose because they are all so adorable and the instructions are clear and easy to follow

I didn't know it when I bought it but it is done in UK terms but they have a chart at the beginning on how to translate. But it's super easy to figure out. Would recommend for sure I can't wait to dive in and start making them.

There are wonderful ideas in this book! My children were naturally quiet, one diagnosed with mild autism. But I realized how he came alive while acting as an owl in a kindergarten play. We became involved in family theater and all of us loved it. I wish we had started all the drama play at a younger age and any of these blankets would encourage children to play act and make their story books come to life. That these props come in the form of a comforting blanket is even better. I want to make them all.

Cute designs and decent instructions. Wife is happy to have it in her collection.

I'm a pretty serious knitter, and at best ambivalent towards crochet. I'd made a few crocheted amigurumi, made a token scarf, and then decided that I like my fiber arts with two needles rather than a hook.Man, this book has gotten me doing a craft I don't normally enjoy because I've been loving making snuggly blankets for my daughter.Some of the blankets in this book basically fly off the needles (both the dragon and deer blankets with their giant gauge took less than a week each). I'd caution folks who are making tye dragon blanket to do a gauge swatch early with the C2C pattern, as both myself and most of the projects I've seen on Ravelry noted that they had to aggressively block their blankets to teach gauge, but all of the others I've made out of this book so far have been exactly matching the predicted dimensions with the suggested hook size.Some of the blankets are much, much more involved, as a heads up. My daughter asked if she could have a fox version of the Wolf pattern from the book, and it's lovely - but it's a DK weight yarn and took around a month to finish the main blanket part. I'm finishing up the Unicorn blanket from the book for a friend's daughter, and I love how it's turning out, but I feel like I've spent a year making the various fringe curls and decorations after the main blanket was done in a few days.I'd definitely recommend this book for someone who has crocheted before and was looking for lovely projects to convince you that it's a craft that's able to offer more than doilies, dolls, and scarves. :)

If you’re new to crochet then this book may not be for you. I had this book for a year before I made this blanket for my nephew. Because I didn’t use the same yarn, I had to make some adjustments which was fine. After I figured out how to do a corner to corner stitch, then it was easy after that but I had to watch YouTube videos to understand. Some of the directions are confusing but for me what helped was that I had to slow way down to try and understand what was being said. I wish there were more pictures but overall I like this book and I plan on making another blanket.

This has recreated my desire to crochet. I haven't fully read through it, but the pictures are cute! I will come back to report on the tech aspect.

The patterns in this book are so cute and the instructions appear to be easy and detailed. I have the yarn to make my grandson a dragon blanket and will be starting that soon. After that, maybe Little Red Riding Hood for my granddaughter. All the other patterns look like fun too.
